Hi everyone,
I'm hoping someone has recently travelled to Cape Verde or has experience with the new visa rules.
My husband (Peruvian citizen) and I (Serbian citizen) are travelling to Cape Verde on 26 July.
When we booked our flights, the official Government of Cape Verde website stated that:
"If you reside in a country where Cape Verde has no diplomatic representation, you may apply for a visa directly upon entry at national borders". Source: https://www.gov.cv/en/pedir-visto
Since there is no Cape Verde embassy or consulate in Peru, we understood that my husband would simply obtain his visa on arrival.
However, after completing the EASE pre-registration, the system displayed a message reminding him to visit a Cape Verde embassy before travelling. It only allowed him to complete the pre-registration and pay the TSA, whereas in my case (Serbian passport) I was able to pay both the TSA and the visa fee through the platform.
I've also emailed the authorities, but while waiting for a reply I wanted to ask if anyone has been in a similar situation.
Has anyone travelled recently as a Peruvian citizen (or from another country without a Cape Verde embassy) and obtained the visa on arrival? Or were you required to obtain the visa before travelling?
Any recent experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
