@Akins00969

hello and welcome !

You need to find an employer first and he will apply for your visa.

Feel free to create your CV in the Jobs in Cape Verde section of the website.

Hi Akeem,

You cannot "convert" a visitors visa into a work visa. In fact, there is no such thing as a work visa. Besides visitors visas there are only residency visas. As Bhavna said, after you arrive in Cape Verde as a visitor/tourist, you need to get a job and then apply for a residency visa via your employment.

Best regards,

Angelo

Hi Akeem,

You can apply for your visitors visa on arrival. But if you are coming from Nigeria, you should first apply online at https://www.ease.gov.cv/ and obtain your receipt. Be aware that the Nigerian immigration will make you pay a bribe of $1500 to leave Nigeria.

Well Cape Verde is not a company so it doesn't pay you anything. However local employers pay by the month or sometimes by the week or even by the day depending on the nature of the work you are doing. No employer pays by the hour.

Angelo

Hi Mathias,

First of all, if you do not speak fluent Portuguese, you would not be able to attend any school in Cape Verde since all courses and instruction are provided in Portuguese, so your application to the school/university will not be accepted by them.

For foreigners who do speak Portuguese, to attend any school or university in Cape Verde, you must first enter the country on a 30-day tourist visa. After you enter the country, simply apply to the school you wish to attend. After your application has been accepted, you can then go to the Immigration department and apply for a student visa. Of course, you will have to provide proof of matriculation in the school or university, and proof that you will be able to pay the tuition and your expenses of room and board during the duration of the program.

English is not spoken here. In addition, there are very few jobs in Cape Verde and unemployment is very high even for local university graduates. The employment market is so bad, thousands of Capeverdean youth immigrate to Portugal annually to find work. So, it would be almost impossible for you to find a job here.

Good luck,

Angelo
