The Cape Verde Digital Nomad Visa is divided into two categories:
Cape Verde Digital Nomad Visa
Like other European countries, Cape Verde has announced a specific visa program for digital nomads, entrepreneurs, freelancers, or remote workers. However, the Digital nomad visa — also known as the entrepreneur visa — is likely the best route for anyone who has a location-independent income.
The Digital nomad visa is valid for two entries and allows the holder to stay in Cape Verde for an initial 4-month period, assuming they don’t qualify for a regular 90-day tourist visa.
However, after that 4-month period expires, the Digital nomad visa also allows you to obtain a residence permit in Cape Verde for two years. Following this period, you can renew your visa for another 3 years. Following this, you can obtain a permanent residence permit after 5 years.

Temporary Stay Visa
