Recommended type of visa

For degree students

Students coming to the University of Porto from countries outside of the European Union must travel with a valid visa, according to the purpose and duration of the stay. Students whose nationality requires a visa must apply for it at the competent Portuguese consular office in their home country.

The recommended type of visa for degree students is the Residence Visa, which allows entry and stay in Portugal for over one year. Click here for more information about Residence Visas.

Please note that whenever students do not pass through immigration control upon entering Portugal, they must present themselves to the Foreigners and Borders Service (SEF) within 3 days of their arrival to complete a Declaration of Entry. This procedure is mandatory and the deadline must be respected, except if staying in a Hotel, Hostel or University Residences.

For additional information about visas and required documentation, please consult the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website.

Real stories

The teaching teams in U.Porto are wonderful. They are knowledgeable and helpful. The hierarchical barriers don’t exist between you and your professors.

The experience at the Lublin University of Technology had a special taste! Lublin is not only a city for education, it is also for the enrichment of cultural knowledge. If I had a chance to visit it again, I would definitely do it!
