The EASE Registration visa
Up to 30 daysThe mandatory online EASE pre-registration for Cape Verde, which collects your travel data and the airport security tax before you fly to the islands.
About the EASE Registration visa
Since January 2026 every foreign traveller must complete the EASE pre-registration before arrival. It is not a visa; visa-exempt nationals use it in place of one, and visa nationals complete it alongside their visa.
