Cape Verde has suspended its visa-on-arrival policy for nationals of 96 countries, introducing stricter entry requirements that mark a shift in its border management approach.
Under the new policy, travelers from affected countries must secure visas before arrival through diplomatic channels. Officials say the decision is intended to improve immigration oversight and strengthen national security procedures.
The change may have implications for tourism, a key pillar of Cape Verde’s economy, particularly from markets that previously benefited from simplified entry rules. Authorities say further adjustments may follow as the country reviews its migration framework.
