For the relevant traveller scope, is a visa, electronic authorisation, visa on arrival or no advance visa normally required?

The official government portal says Cabo Verde visas allow foreign citizens to enter and stay temporarily, while some citizens are exempt under visa-exemption or free-movement agreements. A visa is required for citizens of countries without an exemption or free-movement agreement, and for visa-exempt citizens who intend to stay beyond the exemption period.
