Palmeira (Sal) - Clearance

Oct 20, 2022

This is a Port of Entry. See Cape Verdes Formalities for full details of clearing into and out of the country.

Yachts must fly the "Q" flag until cleared in, after which the courtesy flag must be flown.

The Policia Maritima are located at the foot of the big port-side Ferry-jetty. Look for the Policia Maritima boats.

Immigration are located in the same building.

The Police are present all day, however, Immigration does spend time at the international airport, so tend only to be present in the mornings.

If you want to depart before opening hours, you can get the exit stamp the day before to avoid any delays. If you are planning to clear out of the country at a different port (for example Mindelo,) you don't need to get an exit stamp when you leave.

The ship's papers will be held by the authorities until departure, so even if you don't need an exit stamp, you will need to collect them before you depart.
