Portuguese Consulate in New York: Appointments, Jurisdiction & How to Apply
The Consulate General of Portugal in New York now operates from 757 Third Avenue, Suite 1703, in Midtown East, a short walk from Grand Central Terminal (4, 5, 6, 7, and S lines); it previously sat at 866 Second Avenue, so check the address before you travel. Appointments are booked exclusively through the Portuguese Foreign Ministry's online platform at agendamentos.mne.gov.pt, and the consulate states plainly that bookings by email or phone are not accepted, so creating an account on that platform is step one for any citizen card, passport, civil registry, or notarial request. Following Portugal's reorganization of its US consular network, this office covers New York, Connecticut, and Michigan, plus Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, and the Cayman Islands; Connecticut residents who once used Boston now belong to New York. Residence visa applications (D7, D8, D2, Golden Visa) are not filed at the consulate counter: US applicants submit them through VFS Global, and the Manhattan VFS center handles this jurisdiction.
