Permits and visas extended until 30th June 2022

14 February 2022

Under the Decree-Law no. 23-A/2022 published on the 18th February, it has been extended the expiration date of certain documents, permits and visas related to the stay of foreigners in national territory, which will now be valid until 30th June 2022.


Moreover, it is also extended until the 30th June, documents and visas to stay in national territory whose validity expires from the date of entry into force of Decree-Law No. 10-A/2020, of 13th March, in its current wording, or in the previous 15 days.


This change is among several related ones determined by the Portuguese Government so as to accommodate travelling and stay requirement issues resulting from the global pandemic situation.
