    Hello,
    I am a US Citizen that is also a resident of Portugal. As a resident (not a citizen) of Portugal, do I need a visa? I am asking because my passport expires in less than 6 months.

      As Turkisch passport holder you can obtain a tourist visa upon arrival. So you need a visa.

      Hello,

      Bulgaria is a member of the EU, so you do not need a tourist visa for Cape Verde. Note: you still have to register.

      Best wishes,

      Hello Jomy,

      As a Cameroonian passport holder you need indeed a tourist visa. You can apply for it upon arrival at one of the interational airports of Cape Verde.
