Visas

Portugal Visas Which visa do you need to enter Portugal? Learn about the different type of visas for entry in Portugal. Type of Visas for Portugal Portugal has become one of the top destinations for immigrants all over the world so if it also caught your interest, there is some important information you need to be aware of before you decide to move. To enter and stay in the country, you may need a visa and/or a resident permit and this will depend on different factors: The length of your stay. The purpose of your stay. Your nationality. Short-term visa VS Long-term visa. EU citizens VS Non EU citizens. Residency, work, study. D7 Visa D8 – Digital Nomad D2 Visa The D7 visa is a resident visa that will lead you to citizenship after 5 years. If your goal is to move permanently to Portugal or at least more than 2 years, check if you meet the necessary requirements here. The digital nomad visa, also known as the D8 visa, is a special type of visa that was introduced by the Portuguese government to attract remote workers, digital nomads, and entrepreneurs to live and work in Portugal. The D8 visa is available to non-European Union (EU) citizens who work remotely or provide services to clients outside of Portugal. The D2 visa is a long-term visa that allows non-EU citizens to reside in Portugal for the purpose of developing entrepreneurial activities. This visa is ideal for those who want to start a business or invest in Portugal. The D2 visa is also known as the “Startup Visa” or “Entrepreneur Visa.” If you are a EU citizen you can move to Portugal and get residency by registering at your Portuguese local council and requesting your CRUE (EU registration certificate). You need to do it within the 30 days period after the 3 months of your entry in Portugal. For non-EU citizens different laws apply, but you can still move to Portugal to study, work or retire. The regulating body of immigration is SEF (Serviço de Estrangeiros e Fronteiras) – Immigration and Borders Service. It is going under major transformation and will be replaced until the end of March 2023 which means you can experience some delays in visa processes. Short-term/ Schengen VISA Many non-EU countries have an agreement with Portugal where there is no visa requirement for short stays, under a 3 months period. You can check here if your country is one of these. However, if you want to stay longer than 3 months you will need to apply for a long-term/resident visa.  The long-term national visa must be applied for in your home country before coming to Portugal and it will lead to a resident permit once you arrive. If your nationality requires a Schengen visa, you need to request it at your local consulate (see form here) or you can register at e-visa and submit your application. The visa will be valid for maximum of 90 days in any 180-day period and it will allow you to travel all Schengen space. The same period is allowed for citizens exempt from a visa. This means you can enter the Schengen space once every 6 months. The fee for a short-term visa is 80€ for adults and 40€ for children over 6 and under 12. Some individuals are exempt of a visa. Check here.
