Portugal requires seven basic documents from foreigners applying for a long-stay national visa, according to the country’s official diplomatic portal. The documents listed include a completed and signed application form, two recent photographs, a valid passport, travel medical insurance, a criminal record certificate and proof of sufficient financial resources.
The passport must remain valid for at least three months after the applicant’s planned return date. Required documents may vary depending on the purpose of the stay, including work, study, family reunification, retirement or remote work. Portuguese consulates may request additional documents depending on the applicant’s circumstances and visa category.
For children and people legally unable to sign, the form must be signed by a parent or legal representative. Minors travelling with only one parent may also have to provide additional parental authorisation.
The visa requirements come amid complaints by Cape Verdean women living in Portugal about barriers to their integration, in an article published on 19 October.
