PORTUGUESE TOURIST VISA FOR THAI
Since Portugal is a Schengen state,
the requirements for a Portugal visit visa as well as the processes
involved are the same as those mandated by other Schengen states.
| ELIGIBILITY |
Citizens of non- European Union and
non-European Economic Area countries, along with other foreign nationals
who are not in the visa exemption category need to apply for a visa to
enter Portugal.
The visa sticker shows the number of
days a foreigner is allowed to stay in the country as well as the
number of entries allowed to explore and visit the other Schengen
states. For a maximum, foreigners are allowed to remain in the country
for ninety (90) days every six (6) months.
| PORTUGAL VISIT VISA REQUIREMENTS |
The requirements for a visit visa are the following. Candidates need to show:
- Lack of propensity to be either a public or security threat to the Portuguese government
- A valid passport with at least three-month validity after the proposed travel to Portuguese
- A travel health insurance with a minimum coverage of EUR 30,000
- Sufficiency of financial resources or in case of financial incapacity, a formal pledge executed by the sponsor taking full responsibility of the entire costs to be incurred by the applicant
- Documents showing strong links to Thailand and proving return
- Letter of employment and leave permission; business registration

- An invitation from the sponsor to clarify the purpose of the travel, for private visits
- Proof of sufficient income and accommodation from the guarantor
| PROCESS |
STEP 1 –
The applicant must visit the nearest Portugal embassy or consulate in
Thailand, and inquire about the specific visitor visa application
requirements. Personal visits are encouraged since such assures more
timely and accurate information.
STEP 2 –Upon
learning the requirements, identifying and gathering the application
form, documents, records and certificates required come next. In cases
of financial incapacity to finance the visit, coordination with the
sponsor must be done immediately.
STEP 3 – Then, visa candidates should pay the application fee of EUR60.
STEP 4 –
– Scheduling an appointment is next on the list. In order to avoid
delays and waiting time, it would be best for applicants to call the
embassy’s call center to secure a spot.
STEP 5 –During
the scheduled appointment, submission of all the requirements must be
done. After submission, waiting time for the approval starts. Applicants
may continue to follow-up their applications by calling the embassy.
Italian diplomatic missions usually
process visitor visas for approximately two (2) to ten (10) working
days. Extensions may possibly occur especially during the peak season.
Italian embassy in Thailand
processes the Schengen visa for approximately 3 to 10 working days. This
process may take longer than usual during high season.
