Coronavirus (COVID-19) Travel Advice

The Cape Verdean authorities have introduced a number of measures in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The CV authorities have closed all sea borders and restricted flights from US, Canada and a number of European countries from 18 March. After that time, only a restricted number of flights are allowed into the country to enable people to return home. Contact your tour operator or airline to make sure you have the latest information on your travel plans.

You should comply with any additional screening measures put in place by the authorities. Keep up to date with information from your tour operator, transport or accommodation provider on the impact on any existing travel plans. The government of Cape Verde has set up a free helpline which you can call if you have any information or concerns about coronavirus: +238(0)800-1112. This helpline is only available in Portuguese.

If you need further information about entry requirements, contact the local immigration authorities or the nearest Cape Verdean embassy. You should also check with your airline or travel company for the latest information.
