Travel & Visa
Delegates requiring a visa for entry to Portugal are strongly advised to make their application in their home country at least 3 months before the intended date of travel. If in doubt, information can be obtained from your nearest Portuguese Embassy or Consulate or from your travel agency. From previous experience we know that visa applications can take a considerable time to process. Please apply for a visa in plenty of time so that if there are difficulties you have time to overcome them.
