Cape Verde visa for Emirati citizens

For UAE passport holders, a captivating journey to the islands of Cape Verde is made convenient with a visa on arrival, granting a tourist stay of up to 30 days. Bridging the significant 5-hour time difference and thousands of miles from the Arabian Gulf to this West African archipelago often means travelers will connect through major European hubs like Lisbon or Paris. Upon arrival, a nominal fee, typically around €25-30, will be applicable for your single available tourist visa, allowing you to explore Cape Verde's unique blend of African and Portuguese culture.
