Portugal Visa and Entry Information
Portugal is part of the Schengen Area. Visa requirements depend on the traveller’s nationality, passport, purpose of travel and intended length of stay.
A short-stay Schengen visa allows an eligible traveller who requires a visa to seek entry for a stay of up to 90 days under the applicable Schengen rules.
Portugal’s current government guidance states that nationals of countries included in Annex I of the Schengen Visa Code require a visa for short stays.
Short-stay visa applications can generally be submitted between six months and 15 days before the intended date of entry, subject to the applicable rules and exceptions.
Travellers who do not require a short-stay visa must still meet the applicable Schengen entry requirements.
Check your individual requirements: Visa and entry rules depend on nationality and travel circumstances. Verify the current Portuguese and Schengen requirements before departure.
