Portugal visa guides

Planning to spend real time in Portugal? If you're buying property and want to live there — even part of the year — you may need a visa. Here's what's available.

🇬🇧
You're a UK citizen post-Brexit. EU free movement no longer applies to British nationals. You can visit Portugal (and the wider Schengen Area) for up to 90 days in any 180-day rolling period without a visa. For longer stays — or if you plan to live there indefinitely — you'll need one of the three visas below.
