Travel insurance for Cabo Verde
Short-trip cover for visits to Cabo Verde: emergency medical, trip-cancellation, luggage, the usual travel-insurance stack. Designed for weeks-not-years stays.
Cabo Verde runs a Remote Working Program that lets you live on the islands for six months, renewable once, and unusually it spells out the insurance rule: you must hold travel and health cover that includes medical evacuation and repatriation. That rule exists for a reason. On an Atlantic archipelago where serious cases are flown to Europe and two islands have no working airport at all, evacuation cover is the part that actually matters.
