Portugal handles tourist visas through its embassy or visa application centre. You start the application here and we check your documents first. Depending on the rules in force, the next step can include an appointment or biometrics — our team tells you exactly what applies to you before anything is submitted.

Apply early. 15 working days is what Portugal applications usually take — weekends, public holidays and extra checks by the authority add to it. A visa is never guaranteed, so book flights and hotels you can change.
Applications usually take 15 working days once every document is in. That is an estimate from recent applications; the embassy can take longer and there is no guaranteed date.

To start: passport front page, passport back page, photo, bank statement (last 6 months), income tax return (last 2 years), flight and hotel booking, cover letter, for each traveller. If the embassy needs anything more for your case, we ask you for it by email and on your application page.
No. Only Portugal can approve or refuse a visa. What we do is make sure the application is complete and correctly filed, and keep you informed at every stage.
