Obtain a residence permit
Visas
On this page, you will find information on visas and residence permits. All nationals of third countries who intend to reside and work in Portugal must obtain a visa to enter and remain in Portugal, and a subsequent residence permit. There are several countries with which there is a visa waiver agreement, so nationals of these countries do not need to obtain a visa for stays of up to 90 days.
General considerations
Citizens of Third States who intend to stay in Portugal for more than 90 days must first request a residence visa which will allow them to stay in Portugal for up to one year (temporary stay visa) or request a temporary residence permit (visas for obtaining a residence permit). These visas should be requested in the country of origin before moving to Portugal.
After obtaining a residence visa (or a Schengen Visa), the person may enter in Portugal and start the process of obtaining a temporary residence permit. In certain situations it is possible to request a temporary residence permit without having previously requested a residence visa (please see “Expression of Interests” in the column below “Temporary residence permit”).
After 5 years, the person may request a permanent residence permit, a long-term resident status or request Portuguese nationality.
Below you will find detailed information about visas and the various types of residence permits.
Residence permits
Long-stay visas may be for temporary stay or to obtain a residence permit, depending on the length of stay, and they entitle their holder to remain in Portugal:
– The temporary stay visa is intended to allow entry for stays in Portugal for a period of less than one year. It is valid for the duration of the stay and for multiple entries into national territory. The deadline for the decision on the request for a temporary stay visa is 30 days.
– The visa to obtain a residence permit is valid for two entries and for four months, during which time the holder must obtain a temporary residence permit. The deadline for the decision on the residence visa request is, as a general rule, 60 days.
It is also possible to apply for a Schengen Visa. The Schengen visa is intended for short stays of up to 90 days in any 180-day period and may be granted for the purposes of tourism, family visits, business, seasonal work, transit, among others. This visa can be issued in 15 days or at most 45 days.
