Portugal Visa Costs: Fees, Documents & Support
There is no single all-in Portugal visa price. Build separate budgets for official fees, preparing documents, optional professional support and the move itself.

Planning information, not legal advice or an official checklist. Requirements and individual instructions can change.
Three amounts that must not be confused
- Application expenses
- Money paid for applications, document services, appointments and any support you choose.
- Evidence of financial resources
- Funds or income you may need to demonstrate. These are not an application fee paid to GetFastVisa. The relevant official checklist determines the evidence.
- Relocation and living budget
- Travel, housing, deposits, insurance and everyday costs. Use the separate Portugal cost-of-living planner for monthly spending scenarios.
Build your application expense worksheet
Record the payer, currency, quantity, quote date and whether each charge is refundable. A blank amount means unpriced—not free. Do not add dollars to euros without an explicit exchange rate and transfer costs.
| Expense | What to check |
|---|---|
| Visa application fee | MNE lists a €110 national-visa processing fee and exemptions. Confirm the amount payable locally and your category; this is not the tourist/Schengen fee. |
| VFS charges | Check the national-visa section of the US fee schedule for the separate service charge, accepted payment method and optional services. Avoid assuming a fixed euro-to-dollar conversion. |
| FBI record | The FBI lists $18 per Identity History Summary request. Fingerprinting, channeler and delivery charges can be separate. |
| Federal apostille | The State Department lists $20 per document for authentication services. Allow separately for delivery and any intermediary service. |
| Other documents | Ask the issuing office or provider for civil-record, certification and translation quotes. Only order what the relevant instructions require. |
| Travel and insurance | Obtain your own quotes. Include appointment travel and consider cancellation conditions. |
| Residence-permit stage | Budget the applicable AIMA charges separately. A visa-submission fee is not the same as a residence-permit fee. |
Amounts above were checked on 5 September 2026. Recheck the linked providers before payment. The FBI and apostille figures are individual charges, not a complete document budget.
Optional GetFastVisa support: household estimate
Published service fees: €1,800 per adult and €500 per dependent under 18, plus VAT where applicable. This is the support fee only—not the total cost of a visa or a move.
Service fee: €1,800 before applicable VAT
Excludes official/VFS charges, AIMA fees, apostilles, translations, insurance, couriers, housing and travel. No personal information is collected by this estimator. Read the service terms and refund conditions.
Applying yourself or choosing support
You can follow the official process yourself. Optional support should have a clear written scope: which documents are reviewed, which appointments are covered, what happens if more evidence is requested, and which costs remain yours.
GetFastVisa provides administrative and procedural assistance, not legal representation. Compare our service scope and refund conditions before purchasing. Paying for support does not guarantee appointment speed or approval.
Make the plan specific to your household
- Compare the D7 and D8 routes and confirm who will apply.
- Organize the required documents before obtaining quotes.
- Mark expenses as confirmed, estimated or not yet priced.
- Check cancellation/refund conditions before making commitments.
