Decree-Law no. 90/2022, of 30 December, is coming into force today and provides the extension until 31 December 2023, of documents and visas concerning stays in Portugal, of which validity has expired since the date of entry into force of Decree-Law no. 10-A/2020, of 13 March, as amended, or within the 15 days immediately preceding.
