Unable to pay Cape Verde entry fee

Hi,

I’m going on leave to Cape Verde on 12/06/25 and completed the mandatory registration to enter the country. After filling in my identity, passport number, and hotel address, I tried to pay with my debit card. However, I couldn’t validate the payment—an error message appeared, and the same thing happened with two other cards (bug?). If it still doesn’t work by the time I leave, can I pay the fee upon arrival? Is there a way to do it at the Cape Verde Consulate in Paris?

Thanks.

Hi there No need to panic. This happens from time to time. Try again another day. Several people have already mentioned on this forum that it didn’t work one day but they eventually succeeded another day... And if it still doesn’t work, no problem: you can easily do it when you arrive in Cape Verde—it just takes a little longer. No need to bother with the consulate. Have a great trip

Got it. Thanks a lot.
