Question
Do I need a visa for Portugal?
Answer
U.S. & U.K. citizens do not need a visa for stays up to 90 days for tourism or business, as long as they have a passport valid for at least three months beyond their return date. Nigerian citizens need a Schengen Visa (Short Stay) for tourism, family visits, or business trips, allowing up to 90 days in a 180-day period.
