Cape Verde Visa for Swedish Citizens
Swedish Citizens do not need a visa for Cape Verde. Entry is visa-free for up to 30 days, and the only formality is the airport security tax that every air arrival pays regardless of nationality: 3,400 escudos, about 34 US dollars, registered and paid through the EASE portal. Flights arrive at Sal. National identity cards are accepted for entry as well as passports. Charter capacity from Sweden peaks between November and March and falls away sharply after Easter, so a May or June trip usually means routing through Lisbon at higher cost. Swedish identity cards are accepted alongside passports.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do Swedish citizens need a visa for Cape Verde?
No. Swedish Citizens enter visa-free for up to 30 days. The only requirement is EASE registration and the airport security tax of 3,400 escudos, about 34 US dollars, which applies to every air arrival whatever their nationality.
How long can Swedish citizens stay in Cape Verde?
Up to 30 days without a visa. Extensions of a similar length can be requested from immigration in Praia, Mindelo, Espargos or Sal Rei before the initial period runs out. Our Cape Verde visa page covers the extension process.
How do Swedish travellers get to Cape Verde?
TUI Nordic flies seasonally from Stockholm Arlanda to Sal, with occasional Gothenburg departures. Outside the charter season the route is Stockholm to Lisbon and onward with TAP.
Is there a Cape Verde embassy to deal with?
Cape Verde covers the Nordic countries from The Hague, with an honorary consulate in Stockholm.
What still has to be done before flying?
Register on the EASE portal and pay the security tax, ideally several days ahead rather than on the day. Keep the confirmation available offline: it is checked at departure and again on arrival.
