Entry rules for Cape Verde passport holders
Holders of a valid Cape Verde passport can travel to Russia for tourism or short business trips without applying for a visa, for stays of up to 60 days.

The 60-day limit applies to the visit itself — if you plan to stay longer, work, or study in Russia, you'll need to apply for the appropriate visa or permit before traveling.
Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Russia immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.
