For the relevant traveller scope, is a visa, electronic authorisation, visa on arrival or no advance visa normally required?
A Schengen visa is mandatory to enter Portugal for nationals of countries listed in Annex I of the Visa Code. The Portuguese MNE publishes the full list of nationalities exempt from a visa (some exemptions apply only to biometric-passport holders) and the list of nationalities that must hold a visa.
