It fills the gap for foreign nationals who wish to visit the islands for leisure, recreation, or cruise-related activities, providing a clear legal pathway for short-term stays. The visa is designed to be accessible to international travelers, with fees varying based on the applicant's nationality and the specific consular requirements, ensuring that the country remains an attractive destination for global visitors.

This visa is for foreign nationals intending to visit Cabo Verde for recreational purposes, sightseeing, or as part of a cruise itinerary. It is ideal for vacationers who wish to explore the country's islands and culture. The visa typically allows for a stay of up to 90 days, which can be extended under certain conditions. It is distinctive for its focus on leisure and its requirement that the applicant holds a passport valid for at least six months beyond their intended stay, ensuring that visitors are prepared for their duration in the country.
