Cape Verde Passport Index 2026: Passport Ranking and Visa-Free Travel

The Cape Verde passport ranking explains passport strength through visa-free access, visa-on-arrival options, eTA access and visa-required destinations, using Passport Reports categories for clear country comparison.

The Cape Verde mobility score is 74, based on visa-free destinations, visa-on-arrival destinations and eTA destinations, while visa-required destinations are shown separately for context.

Visa-free access means a Cape Verde passport holder may enter selected destinations without applying for a visa before travel; Passport Reports lists this count as 38.

Visa-on-arrival access for Cape Verde is listed as 33 and may still involve fees, documents, eligibility checks and rules at the arrival point.

eTA access refers to electronic travel authorization routes for eligible travelers, shown for Cape Verde as 3, and treated separately from visa-free and visa-on-arrival travel.

Visa-required destinations, shown as 124, indicate places where Cape Verde passport holders may need a visa before travel and should prepare documents in advance.

Cape Verde can be compared through mobility score, visa-free access, visa-on-arrival access, eTA access and visa-required destinations instead of relying only on one ranking position.

The Cape Verde page may show population 611,014 (2024 est.), official language Portuguese, government type Republic and continent Africa as country context alongside passport data.

No. Passport Reports presents the Cape Verde passport ranking as editorial travel mobility information, not legal advice, immigration advice or a promise of entry.

Travelers should review Cape Verde visa information close to departure because entry rules, eTA systems, visa-on-arrival conditions and document requirements can change.
