Hello there! Are you able with a question re passport renewal for a Cape Verdean Citizen residing in the UK? The embassy in Brussels (apparently responsible for the UK) is not answering their phone/email and the usual Hon Consul is currently not working. I’m grateful for any advice!
Matthew DH Knight says
Hi there. We are a British couple on a boat in Palmeira, Sal. Currently observing the restrictions in effect due to the covid 119 crisis. My wife has to have some prescription drugs sent from the UK as her planned resupply flight is cancelled. Is there an address where we can safely courier her meds? Thanks.

Hello Sir/Madam.
How can I get to you people’s and how can I communicate with yours because I speak English only?
