Holidaymakers travelling to Cape Verde need to ensure they have had their booster jabs if they are to be considered fully vaccinated. The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has updated its guidance for the archipelago off the west coast of North Africa.
Travellers arriving in Cape Verde are qualified as fully vaccinated if they’ve had both doses of the Covid vaccine and a booster jab or one dose of the Janssen vaccine and a booster, at least 14 days before you travel. If you are fully vaccinated you can enter Cape Verde without needing to test or quarantine, but you will need to present proof of your vaccination at check-in for your flight.
Cape Verde will accept a printed version of the UK’s proof of Covid-19 recovery and vaccination record, but it will not accept a digital version. Additionally everyone arriving in Cape Verde needs to complete a Traveller Pre-registration Form and an International Travel Form.
