Cape Verde visa for Costa Rican citizens

Costa Rican passport holders can look forward to a relatively smooth entry into Cape Verde, as a convenient Visa on Arrival is granted specifically for tourism. This single available visa type requires an Airport Security Tax (TSA) of approximately 31 Euros, payable upon arrival. Given the significant trans-Atlantic distance, traveling from Costa Rica typically involves multiple connecting flights, often routing through European hubs like Lisbon, making journey planning crucial. Prepare for a substantial time zone adjustment and consider exchanging currency to the Cape Verdean Escudo to facilitate local transactions during your stay.
