Hi Eder,


This is a very challenging one. We have guidelines for dogs and cats as these are the typical pets people bring into the country. They require deworming, various shots and an electronic chip. Who knows what treatments a turtle needs. Plus turtles have constitutional rights in Cape Verde. Just kidding. But they are a protected species here, so I don't know if you can even bring them in the first place.


You will need to contact the Cape Verde, Ministry of Agriculture at +238 333 77 50 [@Bhava please note that this is a government landline phone number]. Eder, your name suggests that you speak Portuguese or Kriolu. They don't speak English at the Ministry. But if you yourself don't speak the CV languages, I can help you gather the information.


Let me know, how you wish to proceed.


Best regards,


Angelo
