Vatican City visa for Cape Verdean citizens

Cape Verdean citizens planning a visit to the unique sovereign state of Vatican City will find a Schengen visa is required for entry. This short-stay visa, typically costing around €80, permits visits of up to 90 days within a 180-day period, allowing ample time to explore the city-state. Since Vatican City is entirely enclaved within Rome, Italy, your journey will involve flying into a major Italian airport like Rome Fiumicino (FCO), as there are no direct flights to the Vatican itself. Once in Rome, getting to the Vatican is straightforward using local transport, where Italian is widely spoken and the Euro (€) is the standard currency.
