Business Travel Requirements for an Cape Verde Visa for Irish Citizens

  1. Eligibility and Documentation

    The Government of Cape Verde utilises an electronic pre-enrolment and airport tax pay process which has to be completed at least five days before departure. Your nationality is eligible for a visa exemption for a stay of up to 30 days providing an online pre-enrolment is completed and an airport security tax is paid before departure.

    Please keep in mind that while a visa is not required, to be eligible the traveller must:

    • Complete the online pre-enrolment and pay the TSA (Airport Security Tax) at least five days before departure
    • Hold the pre-enrolment confirmation email containing the application number
    • Hold a passport valid at least six months on entry with one blank visa page
    • Hold proof of sufficient fund
    • Hold proof of onward/return flights
    • Hold proof of hotel reservation
    • Hold all documents required for the next destination

Cape Verde Visa FAQ

  1. When is the best time to apply for my Cape Verde visa?

    The best time to apply for your Cape Verde visa is 1-2 months before your travel date. However, if you are running short on time, we may be able to process your visa on a faster service at the Embassy’s discretion.

  2. Do I have to send you my passport to get a Cape Verde visa? Is it safe to send a passport?

    Yes. You will need to send your actual passport, not a copy of it. The Cape Verde visa is stamped on your passport and will become one of your passport pages. Visa request cannot be processed without your original passport. Because of the importance of your passport, we strongly suggest that you send your application by a secure method, such as a guaranteed postal service or courier.
