Cape Verde Visa for Germany Citizens 2026

Visa Free

German citizens do not need a visa for Cape Verde - only an online EASE pre-travel registration is required for stays up to 30 days, with a small registration fee.

Guide last updated October 12, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for at least the duration of the stay
  • Completed EASE (Easy Access and Security) online pre-registration before travel at ease.cv
  • Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or address)
  • Return or onward ticket
  • Sufficient funds for the stay (cash or card)
  • No passport photo required for the EASE registration
  • Biometrics: none required
  • Travel health insurance: recommended, not mandatory

Visa types

  • Not applicable - German passport holders travel visa-free for tourism or business for up to 30 days
  • Longer stays, study, work or residence require a traditional visa applied for at a Cape Verdean embassy before travel

Entry conditions

  • Visa-free entry for up to 30 days under the EASE pre-registration scheme
  • No work permitted under visa-free entry
  • Must show the EASE registration confirmation, proof of accommodation, and a return ticket at check-in and on arrival
  • Extension: a stay extension (up to 90 days total within a 12-month period) can be requested from the Cape Verdean immigration authority (Policia de Estrangeiros e Fronteiras) before the initial period expires

Fees & processing time

  • EASE registration fee: approx. EUR 3.50 per traveler, paid online
  • No embassy or VFS fee since no physical visa is required
  • Total cost: approx. EUR 3.50
  • Processing time: instant to 24 hours after online registration
  • No express option needed given the fast turnaround

Tips for Germany travelers

  • Complete the EASE registration at least 24-48 hours before departure
  • Common issue: forgetting to print or save the EASE confirmation - airlines may ask for it at check-in
  • Apply only through the official ease.cv portal, not third-party sites charging extra
  • No current bilateral travel advisories
  • For stays beyond 30 days, apply for an extension locally rather than risk overstaying
