Before your next trip, make sure your passport complies with the six-month validity rule. As a general guideline, passports should have at least six months' validity when travelling internationally. Most countries, including Cabo Verde, will not allow entry if the passport is due to expire within six months of the final day of travel. This means that if your passport has less than six months remaining before its expiration date, you should renew it immediately or obtain an emergency passport.
RENEW YOUR PASSPORT BEFORE YOUR UPCOMING TRIP
One of the most common mistakes travellers make is failing to renew their passport before travelling. Without sufficient validity, you may get no further than the airport. Every month, we receive hundreds of calls from travellers who are being denied boarding because their passport does not meet the requirements. Do not let this happen to you — renew your passport well in advance of your trip!
WHAT IS THE SIX MONTHS VALIDITY PASSPORT RULE?
It is not a requirement issued by the Cabo Verdean government alone. The six-month passport validity rule is a requirement set by many countries that accept foreign travellers. This rule is enforced because nations seek to avoid situations where travellers overstay the validity of their passports. Six months has become the standard validity requirement worldwide. Visitors to Cabo Verde are also required to have at least six months' validity remaining on their passport on the date of their return journey.

Refugee travel document (also called a 1951 Convention travel document or Geneva passport)
A refugee travel document (also called a 1951 Convention travel document or Geneva passport) is a travel document issued to a refugee by the state in which they normally reside in allowing them to travel outside that state and to return there. Refugees are unlikely to be able to obtain passports from their state of nationality (from which they have sought asylum) and therefore need travel documents so that they might engage in international travel.
The 145 states which are parties to the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees are obliged to issue travel documents to refugees lawfully resident in their territory.[1]
Refugee travel documents are passport-like booklets. Their cover bears the words "Travel Document" in English and French (and often in the language of the issuing state), as well as the date of the convention: 28 July 1951. The documents were originally grey, though some countries now issue them in other colours, with two diagonal lines in the upper left corner of the front cover. Bearers enjoy certain visa-free travel privileges extended by signatories to the convention.
However, as a refugee travel document is not a regular national passport, some problems may be encountered by the holder from time to time, for example due to non-familiarity of airline staff with such documents.
