You likely don't need a visa
You don't need a visa to visit Cabo Verde as a tourist. The Government of Cabo Verde lists your nationality as visa-exempt for up to 30 days. Whether or not you need a visa, you still need to pre-register through the EASE portal before you travel. If you want to stay longer than this exemption allows, you need to apply for a visa.
