Portugal offers various types of visas for short stays (up to 90 days), medium stays (up to a year) and long stays (more than a year). Short stay visas are based on the Schengen Visa and include tourism, visiting families, business meetings, internships and training, and transit. Medium stay visas, Type E – Temporary Visas, allow a visitor temporary stay of up to a year for reasons including medical treatment, business, scientific research, amateur sports, etc. Long stay visas, Type D – Residency Visas, allow a long-term stay and a path to residency.

The process to apply for these visas starts with AS Consultancy assessing the applicant’s profile and eligibility, preparing a visa application, booking an appointment, and submitting the required documents.
