Flexible temporary stay for purposes including work, study, and remote work up to one year with €110 fee and 30-day processing.
The Temporary Stay Visa is a national visa for non-EU citizens planning 90 days to one year in Portugal for work, study, medical treatment, training, or digital nomad activities. Applicants must show sufficient funds, secure accommodation, valid travel insurance, and clean criminal record. The visa bridges short-term tourism and long-term residency.
Applications process in 30 days with a standard €110 fee. The visa grants work authorization and permits multiple Schengen entries during validity. However, it is not renewable and does not lead to permanent residency. Applicants must apply in their country of legal residence.
This visa is ideal for professionals, researchers, students, and remote workers requiring legal Portuguese status for a defined period under one year without pursuing permanent settlement.

Must have a valid purpose (e.g., work, study, medical treatment, digital nomad/remote work, professional training).
