Immigration

If you are thinking of moving to Europe, don’t waste much time and choose Portugal: a country with a mild climate, excellent infrastructures, safety and quality of life, as well as history, culture and gastronomy.

Now you can think about what you will need to make that move: the basics to consider like visas and permits; but also vaccinations, restrictions or taxes on shipped household items, taxes due on car shipping, pet vaccinations and quarantines, and health insurance, among other things.

Don’t get too tired thinking about it and talk to us so we can make the whole process easier for you.

Before coming to Portugal you have to define which visa or residence permit you need in order to legally enter and stay in the country. Portuguese immigration differs depending on your nationality, the purpose of your stay and the intended period of time in Portugal.

According to Portuguese immigration policy, EU/EEA and Swiss nationals may enter normally using their identity cards. All other foreign visitors will need a passport valid for at least six months in addition to a visa.

Portuguese visas are normally processed by the Portuguese embassy in your country of residence. The Foreigners and Borders Service (SEF) in Portugal is responsible for issuing the Residence Permit.

In addition to Gold Visas and solutions for entrepreneurs, you can also come to Portugal to enjoy your pension or stable income, study or accompany your family through family reunion.
