Frequently asked questions

What is the Cape Verde Digital Nomad Visa?

Cape Verde introduced a Digital Nomad Visa for remote workers and self-employed persons earning income from outside the archipelago. It grants 12 months of legal residence and can be renewed. Holders are generally not subject to Cape Verde income tax on foreign-sourced remote income, though you should confirm your specific situation with a local tax advisor.

What income do I need to qualify?

Applicants typically need to demonstrate regular remote income sufficient to support themselves in Cape Verde. The threshold is lower than many European nomad visa programmes. We provide the current income requirements as part of our onboarding process.

Can I bring family members?

Dependent family members including spouses and children can typically apply alongside the primary applicant. Additional documents and fees apply for each dependent. We include guidance on dependent applications in our service.

Is Cape Verde safe for digital nomads?

Cape Verde is one of the most stable and safe countries in Africa, consistently ranking highly on regional safety indices. The islands of Santiago (Praia), Sal, and Sao Vicente have established expat and nomad communities with reliable internet infrastructure.
