FAQ for Indian applicants
Can Indian passport holders use Cape Verde EASE?+
No. EASE eligibility follows nationality, not residence, so Indian passport holders — including UAE residents — need the full tourist visa.
Can I apply for the Cape Verde visa from the UAE?+
Yes. We file for UAE-based Indian nationals without an embassy visit, using your Emirates ID and residence visa as proof of legal stay.
How do Indian travellers usually reach Cape Verde?+
Most route through Lisbon, Casablanca or Dakar. Confirm your transit country's own visa rules — a Schengen airside transit is fine, but a change of airport in Lisbon is not.
How long can I stay on a Cape Verde tourist visa?+
Up to 30 days on a single entry, with extensions requested inside Cape Verde before expiry.
What is the total cost for an Indian applicant?+
USD 45 government fee plus USD 50 Vizaezy service fee, plus the USD 34 airport security tax collected on arrival — quoted upfront, with no hidden charges.
