Passports & Visas
EU citizens within the Schengen area are able to enter the country simply by exhibiting their ID card – which is mandatory when flying, for example, but may not always be asked for when entering via land. Passports are of course valid as well, while no visa or return ticket is required.
International travelers (outside the EU) must provide a valid passport with at least six months’ validity, as well as proof of sufficient funds to cover their stay. A return ticket is recommended but not compulsory.
European citizens do not need a visa to enter Portugal, however should their stay be longer than 90 days they will need to apply for a residence permit.
