#CARD:Cape Verde:Travel\Consular Information
Cape Verde - Consular Information Sheet
October 18, 1993
Country Description: The Republic of Cape Verde consists of several rugged
volcanic islands off the west coast of Africa. The climate is dry and warm.
Tourist facilities are limited.
Entry Requirements: A passport and a visa are required. Evidence of
immunization against yellow fever (if arriving from an infected area), is
required. For further information concerning entry requirements for Cape
Verde, travelers may contact the Embassy of the Republic of Cape Verde, 3415
Massachusetts Avenue, N.W., Washington D.C. 20007, telephone (202) 965-6820,
or the Consulate General of Cape Verde in Boston.
Medical Facilities: Medical facilities in Cape Verde are extremely limited.
Doctors and hospitals often expect immediate cash payment for health care
services. U.S. medical insurance is not always valid outside the United
States. Supplemental medical insurance with specific overseas coverage has
proved to be useful. Information on health matters can be obtained from the
Centers for Disease Control's international travelers hotline, telephone
(404) 332-4559.
Information on Crime: Some petty thievery can be expected. The loss or
theft of a U.S. passport abroad should be reported immediately to the local
police and to the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.
Drug Penalties: U.S. citizens are subject to the laws of the country in
which they are traveling. Penalties for possession, use or trafficking in
illegal drugs are strictly enforced. Convicted offenders can expect jail
sentences and fines.
Registration: U.S. citizens who register at the U.S. Embassy may obtain
updated information on travel and security in Cape Verde.
Embassy Location: The U.S. Embassy is located on Rua Hoji Ya Henda 81 in
the capital city of Praia. The mailing address is C.P. 201. The telephone
numbers are (238) 61-56-16 or 17; the fax number is (238) 61-13-55.
No. 93-264
This replaces the Consular Information Sheet dated December 24, 1992, to
provide the U. S. Embassy's fax number and to add information on reporting
the loss or theft abroad of a U.S. passport.
