Welcome to Expats Cape Verde
|
The Expats Cape Verde website has been set up to provide an additional service to Expats living and working in Cape Verde and also visitors to Cape Verde and investors. It is aimed at English speaking people who wish to use this service to communicate, advertise or find out information on Cape Verde.
‘Expats’ includes people from other countries other than the UK.
Within this site you will find blogs, a forum and Yellow-E-Service (similar to Yellow Pages). Within the Yellow Pages you can find contact details of people and businesses for Cape Verde.
Expat Newsletter - Online
The Expat Newsletter started circulation in December 2008. From June 09 it was made available on-line within the Expats Cape Verde website. We still continue to provide an email version of the Expats Cape Verde Newsletter as a free service. The information placed within the newsletter will vary, as this depends on what subject matter is supplied by Expats or others. Please read the terms and conditions. To receive the Expat Cape Verde newsletters by email, please register your interest below. We have other pages that will hopefully provide you with more information before you arrive in Cape Verde. We also have some suggestions as to the restaurants, bars or venues that play music, take a look at the Restaurants and Bars link on the top menu bar to see some of the best places to eat and drink on Sal.
Announcements
New initiatives or changes will be announced within the announcement section on the home page. Please check these out on a regular basis.
Information
If you have information that may be relevant, we do accept news in English from various parties. Photos and images are also accepted, but should be jpeg.
Cape Verde Islands
The Cape Verde Islands have become more popular with British, Irish, European tourists and travellers who are able to take advantage of some cheap direct flights to Cape Verde for holidays through Travel Agencies. Obviously some flights will be more expensive during the holiday periods, but there are still some bargains to be found, especially at the last minute. There are a range of hotels and accommodation types from which you can choose to stay in on Sal Island and some of the other bigger islands such as Santiago and Sao Vicente. The islands of Santo Antao, Boavista, Maio, Fogo, Brava, Sao Nicolau will have fewer hotels to choose from. The island of Boavista has some All Inclusive Hotels.
You may prefer to rent accommodation. There is more rental accommodation on the island of Sal, as there has been more investment in property on the island than others within Cape Verde. The climate here is good with plenty of warm to hot sunny days and is ideal for some winter sun. Sal has lovely beaches and an international airport which makes an ideal place to visit to chill out. Water sports activities including scuba diving are available throughout the year, although windsurfing and kite surfing are mainly winter time activities due to the wind and bigger ocean waves. Boavista is also poplular and new flights are bringing in more tourists to the island. The winter time is more popular with water sports enthusiasts who arrive on the island of Sal to make the most of the weather conditions. The summer period may be too hot and humid for some visitors to Cape Verde although the school holidays in the summer are popular with Italians and Portuguese. There are also flights to Scandinavian countries, Belgium, France and Germany. Check out Skyscanner (above) to search for flights to Cape Verde.
Photo Gallery
We have photo galleries within the Expats Cape Verde website and Cape Verde Tips. Albums will include activities, events, water sports, whales, some movies, various islands, travel and much more.
Investments and Developments on Cape Verde
Investors visiting the island are still arriving looking for property and again there are some bargains to be found. Developers are either progressing with developments or for one reason or another there is a delay with the build. The numbers of Bars and Restaurants on Sal have been increasing as more investment is brought into Cape Verde.
Cape Verde Tips
For more information about Sal or other Cape Verde islands, its history, and how the islands are developing, please visit the Cape Verde Tips website, here you will find plenty of general information about banks, legal matters, Portuguese law, investing, flights, flying to Cape Verde, inter island travel and other relevant travel advice. There is also information on visits made by the British Ambassador to
Cape Verde.

British Ambassador
A British Nationals information booklet has been produced and updated by the British Embassy to Cape Verde, please see the link to the information booklet at the top of this page. There is no British Embassy in Cape Verde. The British
Ambassador to Cape Verde is based in Dakar, Senegal, but there is a
British Honorary Consul based on the island of Sao Vicente, Cape Verde.
