Next step **How we know** Every figure here is as visit-caboverde.com publishes it, checked 18 August 2026. Where a number is our own arithmetic rather than a printed figure, the row says so. Sources are listed further down the page. ## What to know before you apply The programme page is published by Turismo de Cabo Verde (the Cabo Verde Tourism Institute, ITCV), the government body named in the approval letter, so it is tiered official; the visa itself is approved by the Directorate of Borders and Foreigners (DEF). Note the page still carries a COVID-19 entry requirement (negative PCR test or complete vaccination) that is almost certainly stale — no separate government page confirming its removal was reachable. The income test is a bank-balance test, not a monthly-earnings test; this is the single most commonly mis-reported fact about this programme. ## What it means for your tax days Official wording, verbatim: "Remote workers in Cabo Verde are exempt from income tax." (Also stated as "Exemption from income taxes" among the programme's benefits.) A visa is permission to stay; tax residency follows the days you actually spend. Check Cabo Verde's tax authority for the day test that applies to you — and count the days either way. ## Sources - [visit-caboverde.com](https://www.visit-caboverde.com/en/remote-working) — official source, checked 2026-08-18 ## Questions people ask about Cabo Verde **Does Cabo Verde have a digital nomad visa?** Yes. Cabo Verde runs the Remote Working Programme (temporary work/tourism visa for remote workers), which grants an initial stay of 6 months ("a temporary work/tourism visa lasting 6 months, with the opportunity of renewal for another 6 months after" — i.e. one renewal, to a maximum of 12 months.). Checked 18 August 2026 against visit-caboverde.com. **How much do you need to earn for the Cabo Verde digital nomad visa?** €1,500 a month — Published as an average BANK BALANCE, not a monthly salary. Official wording, verbatim: "You'll be required to present your proof of income as an individual or as a family, regarding at least the last 6 months. Individual: minimum average bank balance of 1.500€ on the last 6 months; Family: minimum average bank balance of EUR 2.700€ on the last 6 months". Many third-party guides describe this as a monthly income requirement — the official text says average bank balance over the preceding six months.. That is the figure as published; check the official page for the current amount before you apply. **How long can you stay on the Cabo Verde digital nomad visa?** 6 months on the initial permission; "a temporary work/tourism visa lasting 6 months, with the opportunity of renewal for another 6 months after" — i.e. one renewal, to a maximum of 12 months.. Stretch counts the days either way and tells you the date you must be out. **Does a digital nomad visa in Cabo Verde make you tax resident?** Official wording, verbatim: "Remote workers in Cabo Verde are exempt from income tax." (Also stated as "Exemption from income taxes" among the programme's benefits.) **How does Stretch help with the Cabo Verde digital nomad visa?** Log the day you land and Stretch counts the days against the permission you are on, shows the date you must be out, and reminds you at 14, 7, 3 and 1 days. It also tallies the days that count towards tax residency, so the 183-day question answers itself. The counting and the alerts are free, forever.
