Frequently asked questions
Portuguese and EU citizens do not need a visa for tourist stays of up to 30 days. You do need a passport valid for at least 6 months and the EASE online pre-registration. Our agency handles this pre-registration and the airport security tax when you book the package.
You can pay in euros almost everywhere — restaurants, craft shops, taxis and excursions. Change may be given in Cape Verdean escudos (CVE). Portuguese debit cards do not work in every ATM, so bring some cash in euros.
