🇨🇻 Cape Verde visa requirements for Sudanese citizens

Entry rules for Sudan passport holders
Sudanese travelers can obtain their visa directly at the border or airport when arriving in Cape Verde. Bring a passport with at least six months' validity, passport photos, and the visa fee (often payable only in cash). Lines can be long at peak times, so check whether Cape Verde also offers an e-visa to skip the queue.
Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Cape Verde immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.
