→ Cape Verde visa for Swiss citizens

Swiss passport holders planning a sun-drenched escape to Cape Verde can enjoy visa-free entry for short tourist visits, allowing for stays of up to 30 days to explore its captivating volcanic landscapes. The journey from Switzerland's alpine terrain to this Atlantic archipelago often involves connecting flights, typically through Lisbon or other major European hubs, crossing a two-hour time difference that shifts from Central European Time. While a traditional visa isn't required for these brief trips, travelers should be aware of the mandatory Entry Authorisation Security Fee (EASE) pre-registration, which simplifies arrival and functions as the single entry clearance type for short-term tourism.
