Invest in Cape Verde Real Estate
Cape Verde combines political stability, a strategic Atlantic location, and a booming tourism sector. Tourist arrivals reached a record 1.24 million visitors in 2025 — up 6% year-on-year — while national hotel occupancy climbed from 60% to 72%. With visa-free access for most nationalities and a government actively encouraging foreign investment, Cape Verde offers European-standard infrastructure at emerging-market prices.

No restrictions on foreign ownership. As of 2026, Cape Verde's property transfer tax (ITI) is just 1% of the property value, and the new annual property tax (IPI) is a low 0.1% of assessed value — both significantly lower than the previous regime. Strong rental demand from European tourists year-round. Potential for Cape Verdean residency through property investment starting at €80,000–€120,000, depending on the region. Gateway to both African and European markets. Stable currency pegged to the Euro. English widely spoken in business.

Investor Questions Answered
Entry-level units in our current developments start from around €110,000–€140,000, depending on location and unit type — see Current Investment Opportunities above.
Local bank mortgages for non-resident foreign buyers in Cape Verde are limited and typically require a larger down payment than in Europe. Most international investors purchase through staged, milestone-based payments made directly to the developer — the same secure payment structure Oceânica uses (see "Purchase" step above).
Beyond the purchase price, budget for the property transfer tax (ITI, 1% of the property value as of 2026), notary and land registry fees (typically 1–2%), and the low annual property tax (IPI, 0.1% of assessed value).

Yes. Cape Verde's residency-by-investment program grants residence rights to property buyers investing from €80,000 in lower-GDP regions or €120,000 in higher-GDP regions, with a pathway toward citizenship over time.
Yes — our turnkey service covers everything from property selection to ongoing rental management, so you don't need to be in Cape Verde to operate your investment.
Demand has been strong: Cape Verde welcomed a record 1.24 million visitors in 2025 (+6% year-on-year), and national hotel occupancy rose from 60% to 72% over the same period. Demand is strongest in Sal and Boa Vista, which receive the bulk of tourist arrivals; Praia's demand is driven more by long-term residents and business travelers.
Yes — we offer both virtual walkthroughs and in-person viewings, alongside independent legal verification of the property before you commit (see "Selection & Legal" in Your Investment Journey above).
Foreign owners can sell freely with no restrictions. Non-resident sellers are subject to a 3% capital gains tax on the profit from the sale (the difference between purchase and sale price). Oceânica provides exit strategy support, including help finding buyers and managing the resale process.
