Cabo Verde ETA Policy for UK Citizens
Cabo Verde's visa policy for UK citizens requires advance application before travel. The electronic travel authorisation (${ETAW}) is applied for online and linked to your passport — no embassy visit and no visa sticker. Approval is typically issued within 3–5 business days. The government fee of $0 is set by Cabo Verde immigration authorities and is subject to change. PassportsAndVisas.com monitors policy updates daily and will notify you of any fee changes after your application is submitted.
UK citizens should apply for their Cabo Verde visa at least 8 days before departure to allow time for processing and any document corrections. Rush processing is available for travelers with imminent departure dates.
Traveling to Cabo Verde from United Kingdom — What to Know Before You Go
Planning a trip to Cabo Verde from United Kingdom involves a few key logistics beyond the visa. Direct flights are available from major United Kingdom hubs to Cabo Verde's main international airports, with flight times varying depending on your departure city. We recommend booking refundable tickets until your visa is approved — PassportsAndVisas.com's service fee is charged only after visa approval, so you are not committed financially before your visa is confirmed.
Passport preparation is the most important step. Your United Kingdom passport must have at least 6 months of validity remaining beyond your departure date from Cabo Verde, and at least 2 blank pages for entry stamps. If your passport is expiring soon, PassportsAndVisas.com can expedite United Kingdom passport renewal — often faster than standard government processing times.
Once your Cabo Verde ETA is approved it is linked electronically to the passport you applied with — there is nothing to print. Travel on that same passport; carriers check it before boarding. Keep the approval email as a backup.
