What this visa is for
The Schengen Type C short-stay visa lets you travel across 26 European countries for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. A single visa covers tourism, business, conferences, short-term study, and family visits.
If you are a Portuguese citizen or EU national, you do not need a Schengen visa. This visa is for third-country residents in Portugal who need to travel elsewhere in Europe for short stays.
Who is eligible
- Third-country nationals residing legally in Portugal.
- Travellers whose main destination is another Schengen country.
- Business visitors invited by a Schengen-based company.
- Family members visiting EU relatives resident in another Schengen state.
Documents we prepare
- Valid passport and current Portuguese residence permit.
- Travel medical insurance with minimum €30,000 cover.
- Flight itinerary and accommodation bookings across your trip.
- Bank statements showing sufficient funds.
- Employment or study confirmation.
- Purpose-of-visit supporting documentation.
Processing and fees
Most consulates return a decision in 2–4 weeks. The €90 visa fee is paid directly to the consulate of your main destination. Our service fee covers document review, application filing, and appointment booking.
Main destination rule
The Schengen visa must be requested from the country that is your main destination, or, if you split time equally, the first country you enter. We help you determine the right consulate and book the appointment.
