Do I need a visa for Indonesia from Cape Verde?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Cape Verdean nationals must obtain a visa before travelling to Indonesia. The application is made online through the official e-Visa.
From the Cape Verde archipelago, Indonesia is not a visa-free destination: travellers from Praia and the other islands must arrange their authorisation in advance. The online e-Visa is a convenient alternative to a consular process, which is often distant given the lack of an Indonesian mission locally. The visa covers arrival at the usual airports and ports such as Bali or Jakarta.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. A Cape Verdean citizen needs a visa to enter Indonesia, to be obtained before the trip. The electronic e-Visa is the recommended route; some entry points may offer a visa on arrival, but it is wiser to arrange it online in advance.
How and where to apply
With no easily reachable Indonesian consulate in Cape Verde, the online application at evisa.imigrasi.go.id is the most practical solution. You open an account, complete the form, attach the documents and pay by card, then receive the visa by email.
Documents and fees
Carry a Cape Verdean passport valid at least six months after arrival, a compliant photo, an accommodation address and, depending on the category, a return ticket and proof of funds. The fee and the permitted stay depend on the visa type; the exact rate, not confirmed here, is shown on the official portal.
Processing and tips
Allow several working days for processing and plan ahead all the more since travel logistics from the islands can be tight. Make sure the details entered mirror your passport exactly and keep the approved visa in both digital and printed form.
Common mistakes
Typical pitfalls are a passport with insufficient remaining validity, a wrongly formatted photo, and relying on a visa on arrival that is not guaranteed. Use only the official portal and not intermediaries that add extra charges.
