To open an emigrant account, you need to fill in the forms available at Banco Interatlântico branches or by clicking here to attach the following documents:

• Copy of CNI
• A copy of your updated work permit and residence certificate, or documents proving that you are employed and that you are a permanent resident abroad;
• If it is not possible to present these documents, you must present a certificate issued by the diplomatic authority proving that you reside abroad and have been gainfully employed in the country of residence for more than one year;
• Cape Verdean pensioners living in Cabo Verde, who receive their pensions through their ID card, do not need to present documents proving their emigrant status, as the pension itself serves as proof;
• Fill in the forms for Opening an Account, which can be obtained directly from the website www.bi.cv, and handed in at one of Banco Interatlântico's branches.

The account opening documents can be sent by any of the available means. The originals of the documents must be sent by post to the branch where you wish to open your account.
