Visas : All visitors need a visa to enter Cape Verde
The British Embassy in Dakar, Senegal is responsible for the UK’s relations with Cape Verde. There is no Cape Verdean Embassy in London, however there is an Honorary Consul, Mr Joao Roberto, based in Liverpool.
The UK has an Honorary Consul, Mr Antonio Canuto, based in Mindelo, Sao Vicente. There are historic UK links with Mindelo which British ships used for bunkering until the 1950s. There is a very small Cape Verdean community in the UK, mainly the families of former seamen.
Inoculations : Yellow fever
If you come from or have or journeyed through or disembarked in a country in the yellow fever belt of Africa or South America, you must have proof of inoculation against the disease.
