CPLP Mobility Visa

Eligibility Quiz

Are you a national of Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Equatorial Guinea, Mozambique, São Tomé and Príncipe, or East Timor?

The CPLP pathway requires fewer documents than standard visas, but the paperwork you do provide must be precise.

Valid Passport: Must be valid for at least six months beyond your planned arrival.
CPLP Consular Visa: (Required for all except Brazilian and Timorese nationals).
Criminal Record Certificate: Issued by your country of origin or the country where you have resided for more than one year. This document must be apostilled (or legalized at a Portuguese consulate) and translated if not in Portuguese.

Proof of Means of Subsistence: You must demonstrate you can support yourself. However, the CPLP regime allows this to be satisfied by a Term of Responsibility (Termo de Responsabilidade) signed by a legal resident of Portugal (citizen or resident permit holder) who guarantees your housing and living costs.
Proof of Accommodation: A rental agreement, property deed, or the aforementioned Term of Responsibility.
NIF (Número de Identificação Fiscal): Your Portuguese tax identification number.
