Investment and Residency Property in Cape Verde
Cape Verde has been attracting more foreign and diaspora investors chasing two goals that often go hand in hand: earning a return in a stable property market, and building a legal basis to live or spend time in the country through a property purchase.
Political stability, a currency pegged to the euro (1 € = 110.265 CVE, with no exchange-rate risk since 1999) and steady tourism growth — accelerated by the international exposure since the national team qualified for the 2026 World Cup — make the country appealing both for renting to tourists and residents and for medium-term value growth.
Buying property can also support an application for a Cape Verdean residency permit, subject to the legal requirements in force — we always recommend confirming the current process with a local lawyer. Imobisol helps identify properties with good investment potential and connects you with trusted legal professionals when needed.

Frequently asked questions
Does buying property in Cape Verde automatically grant residency?+
Not automatically — property ownership can be one of the requirements for certain residency permit types, but the legal process is separate from the property transaction. We always recommend confirming current requirements with a specialist lawyer.
What type of property has the best investment potential in Cape Verde?+
It depends on the goal: two/three-bedroom apartments in Praia tend to have good rental turnover with residents, while property in Sal and Boa Vista suits tourist rentals and value growth tied to tourism.
What's the average rental yield in Cape Verde?+
It varies by area and property type, but well-located apartments in Praia have historically delivered stable rents relative to purchase price. We can share concrete figures for a specific property.
Is it safe for a foreigner to invest in Cape Verde?+
Yes — there are no restrictions on foreigners buying property, and the process follows the same legal steps as for nationals (promissory contract, deed and land registration).
