Cape Verde Visas for Thomson and Portland Package Holidays
The entry fee for your Cape Verde visa is included in the holiday cost for all Thomson and Portland package holidays. However, it is essential you register your passport details with us so that we can process the visa application for you. This must be completed at least 7 days before the date you fly. Should you fail to do this, you will be asked to pay for a visa on arrival at a cost of 25€ per person and you will not be able to claim the cost back from us.
On arrival in Cape Verde your passport will be stamped. This stamp is your entry visa. There is no need for you to approach the Visa office at the airport. Please proceed directly to passport control.
Visa application for the Cape Verde Islands
Please note that British Citizens travelling to the Cape Verde islands require a passport that is valid for a minimum of 6 months upon their return to the UK and an entrance visa.
If you are a non-British citizen please contact the Cape Verde Consulate direct for information on visa requirements. The consulate is based in Liverpool.
Important - Flight Only Customers

You must pay for your entry visa on arrival in the Cape Verde Islands, and should not apply online via the Thomson website.
