Question

What is required to enter Portugal?

Answer

Please ensure you have the following two documents to travel to Portugal - a valid passport and an ETIAS form (European Travel Information and Authorization System). Information on both below: Your passport must have 3 months validity beyond the date of intended departure (i.e. if you plan to fly back to the U.S. on August 20th, 2023 your passport must expire no earlier than November 20, 2025). Passport renewal can take several months, so please double check your passports soon and make appointments at passport agencies if necessary! To visit Portugal in 2025, travelers from visa-exempt countries (includes US) will need to apply for an ETIAS online before arrival. The process is quick, inexpensive, and approval is typically received within minutes. You will apply on the official ETIAS website, which is expected to launch early 2025.
