Everything you need for Cape Verde, sorted before you land: data, visa, insurance and lounges.

TRIP FILE DATA

Ten islands and no two alike: one is a desert with dunes, another is green and vertical, another is a volcano people still live inside. Cape Verde runs on morabeza, a word they don’t translate, and on music that carries the whole country.

CV / FIELD NOTES

OVERVIEW

The lay of the land

You get into and out of Cape Verde by air or sea, with no land border to cross. That simplifies arriving and complicates the inside: leave slack between connections.

STAYING CONNECTED

Data the moment you land

The first place being connected pays off is passport control, when they ask for your hotel address and it’s sitting in your email. Plans run from 1 GB to 20 GB, valid up to 30 days, with unlimited day passes for longer stays. An Ozu eSIM installs before you fly and wakes up when you touch down.

WHEN TO GO

Timing your trip

Cape Verde sits in the northern hemisphere, so the warmest, longest days fall roughly between June and August, while winters run colder. Spring and autumn usually trade the crowds for milder weather and better prices.

MONEY

Paying your way

Cash hasn’t died everywhere at the same speed: there are countries where a street stall won’t take it and others where cards are useless outside hotels. Find out which one you’re landing in before you land, not in the taxi queue.

ENTRY

Documents & cover

Check whether your destination wants an electronic authorisation before boarding: these are done online and can take days to come back. And always confirm with the country’s own official source, because these rules change without notice and guides go stale.

LANGUAGE

Getting understood

Download the area map before you leave home: it works with no signal and it saves the day you land and the eSIM takes a minute to latch on. With an offline map and a translator ready, getting lost stops being a problem and becomes a plan.
