Cabo Verde Remote Working Program: Requirements

Cabo Verde's Remote Working Program is a less internationally known option than most on this site — a West African island nation offering a genuine, if lower-profile, entry point for nomads, with correspondingly thinner real-world applicant precedent to draw on.

Requires proof of remote income and a minimum bank balance, plus standard documentation. Most current sources converge on roughly €1,500/month (individual, averaged over the prior 6 months) or €2,700/month for a family — genuinely lower than most comparable programs on this site — though a couple of sources cite a higher €2,500/month gross income figure instead, describing a different framing (income versus a bank balance requirement). Given this program's real coverage gap relative to better-documented ones, confirm the current specific figure and its exact structure directly with Cabo Verdean immigration rather than trust either number here alone.

A real, specific eligibility gate worth knowing upfront: as of the most recent guidance found, this program is currently limited to citizens of Europe, North America, the Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries (CPLP), and the Economic Community of West African States (CEDEAO) — not open to all nationalities the way most other programs on this site are. Confirm your specific nationality qualifies before investing time in the rest of the application.

• Proof of remote income / bank balance — reported figures cluster around €1,500/month individually, but confirm the current specific structure and threshold directly
• Valid passport
• Health insurance
• Standard documentation appears to include health insurance and a clean criminal record, though the complete official list is less consistently documented across sources than for more established programs — confirm directly before assuming any single source's checklist is exhaustive
