Extension of validity for documents and visas until 31 December 2023

30 December 2022

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.

 

Therefore, all documents of which the validity period expired after 24 February 2020 must be accepted as valid until 31 December 2023, in Portugal.

 

After 31 December 2023, as long as the holder provides proof that he/she has already scheduled the respective renewal, the documents and visas related to the stay in the country should be accepted in Portugal.
