Documents that change the outcome

    Useful only for nationalities otherwise listed as requiring a pre-arrival visa; the 2025 notice states that the visa obligation does not apply to holders of a valid residence permit issued by U.S. official authorities that guarantees unconditional readmission. The source does not state a specific stay period for this waiver.

Common questions

Chinese passport with a valid U.S. visa: is Cape Verde visa-free?

I did not find an official Cabo Verde source saying that a U.S. visa itself grants a visa waiver to Chinese passport holders. Based on sourced rules, a Chinese passport is listed for visa on arrival for 30 days, and China is not in the official 2026 pre-arrival visa-required list.

Does a Hong Kong passport need a visa for a short tourist/business visit to Cabo Verde?

No. Cabo Verde's consular portal visa-exemption list states that Hong Kong ordinary passports are visa-exempt for 30 days.

Taiwan passport with a U.S. green card: is a pre-arrival Cabo Verde visa still required?

The 2025 official notice lists Taiwan as pre-arrival visa-required, but the same rule says that obligation does not apply to holders of a valid U.S. residence permit guaranteeing unconditional readmission. A U.S. green card can therefore change the Taiwan-passport outcome.

Can a Taiwan passport holder without another residence document get visa on arrival?

Not under the sourced 2026 official rule. The 2025-11-24 government notice annex lists Taiwan among nationalities that must obtain a visa before arrival from 2026-01-01.
