Portugal is a wonderful country in Europe known for its ancient attractions, gorgeous beaches and distinctive culture. The first thing that comes to mind if you're visiting Portugal is: Do Indians need a visa for Portugal? In this article, we will answer this question along with other crucial details about the visa application process.

Do Indians Need Visa to Visit Portugal?

Yes, Indian nationals require a visa to enter Portugal. Since the country is part of the Schengen area, Indian citizens must obtain a Schengen visa. With this visa, you can travel to Portugal and other Schengen nations for up to 90 days. 

The answer to the question, “Can I go to Portugal without a visa?” is no. Indian citizens must have a visa for business, travel or family visit.

Although applying for a Schengen visa is easy, you need to provide a few documents. These include a valid passport, trip insurance, itinerary, hotel reservations, and evidence of adequate funds. Before applying for a visa, verify the validity of your travel insurance policy in the Schengen region. The policy covers any unexpected circumstances or emergency medical scenarios.

A Portugal visa can be used to travel to France, Germany, Italy, and other Schengen nations. Depending on your travel schedule, you may need to apply for the visa early, as it may take 15 to 20 working days to process your application.

Conclusion

Don't begin the application procedure until all your documentation is complete and accurate. Also, purchase a travel insurance policy on time to ensure a seamless and unforgettable trip to Portugal.
