About visas and residence permits

The residency visa in Portugal is always requested in the country of origin, or where the applicant has a regularized stay. In most parts of the world, the residency visa is applied for through the VFS (Visa Centers). However, there are still consulates that have all the steps to obtain a residence visa and that in turn can also aggregate the demands of other consulates, which is called jurisdiction.

Thus, before applying for a visa, it is crucial that we can confirm the corresponding jurisdiction and whether VFS is present where we intend to apply for the visa or whether it will be directly at the consulate.

Heads up:
Even with the general procedures established, we have to focus on the specific requests of each VFS and consulate, as they have their own requirements and may have different procedures for applying for a visa. Therefore, before applying for a visa, check individually the requirements specified on the website of the VFS or consulate where you intend to apply for the visa.
