E7 — Temporary Stay Visa to Accompany a Family Member

The Temporary Stay Visa to Accompany a Family Member allows spouses, minor children, and dependent parents of primary temporary stay visa holders to reside in Portugal. Applicants must demonstrate family ties through marriage or birth certificates and provide proof of sufficient financial means. The visa is issued by Portuguese consulates and embassies.

Processing takes approximately 30 days from application submission. The visa fee is €110. The applicant's permission lasts as long as the primary visa holder's status, and the visa is renewable provided the sponsoring family member maintains their authorization. Work authorization is not permitted under this visa.

This visa is ideal for family members seeking to reunite with relatives who hold Portuguese temporary stay visas and require close family support during their residence in the country.
