A Schengen type C visa is required for travel to Portugal. The application is processed through the Capago centre in Baku.

The consular fee is 35 euros, and the visa centre’s service charge is added to it. The document file follows the standard Schengen requirements: purpose of travel, accommodation, financial means and insurance.

Lisbon, Porto, Madeira and the Algarve coast are the main destinations. If you plan to travel to the islands, domestic flight bookings must be made in advance. Viza.az also sorts out the domestic flight bookings for Madeira and the Algarve ahead of time.

  • Copy of your ID card Required alongside the passport.
  • Completed Schengen application form A single form for all member states; it must be signed and dated.
  • Two biometric photographs 35×45 mm, light background, taken within the last six months.
  • Medical insurance Article 15 of the Visa Code requires cover of at least 30,000 euros. It must be valid across all member states and for every day of the stay, and cover emergency care, hospital treatment, medical repatriation and death.

  • Proof of accommodation A hotel booking or a formal invitation from your host, covering every night of the trip.

  • Letter from your employer It must state the organisation's name, tax number and contact details, along with your position, salary and length of service, and carry a stamp and signature. Business owners submit a copy of the tax registration, a turnover certificate from the tax office and a register extract instead; students submit a letter from their institution.
  • Proof of marital status Marriage certificate, and birth certificates for children under 18. If a child travels with one parent, the other's notarised consent is required.

  • Sponsor's documents If someone else is funding the trip: the sponsor's letter, proof of income and evidence of the relationship. Required only in that case.
  • Domestic travel bookings If you plan to fly to Madeira or the Azores, those bookings are submitted too.

Visa to Portugal: frequently asked questions

In Baku, Portuguese applications are accepted by the Capago visa centre. The documents are handed in and the biometrics taken there.

The consular fee is 35 euros and the Capago service charge is 26 euros. The Viza.az service is 95 AZN; the domestic island flight bookings are planned too.

No. Both autonomous regions are part of Portugal and are in the Schengen zone. Just add the domestic flight booking to the document file.

June to September is the busiest season; appointments and hotels run out quickly in that period. It makes sense to start the application in April.

A passport, a completed application form, a photo, an accommodation booking, return tickets, medical insurance with 30,000 euros of cover, a letter from your employer and a bank statement for the recent months.

No document is required for internal journeys. A train or bus ticket clarifies the itinerary and strengthens the application.

Usually 7 to 15 working days. The period can stretch in the summer season.

We prepare the document file, fit the domestic island flight bookings to the route and plan the Capago appointment.
