How Do I Apply for a Portugal Spouse Visa?

If your spouse is a Portuguese citizen or legal resident, you can apply for a Portugal Spouse Visa under the family reunification category. This visa allows you to live and eventually work in Portugal while staying with your partner.

Steps to Apply for a Portugal Spouse Visa:

Confirm Eligibility

Your spouse must be a Portuguese citizen or a foreign national with legal residence in Portugal (such as a work visa, student visa, or permanent residency).

Prepare Required Documents

Valid passport

Completed visa application form

Marriage certificate (officially translated and legalized/apostilled)

Proof of your spouse’s legal residence in Portugal (residence card or citizenship documents)

Proof of accommodation in Portugal (rental contract or housing letter)

Proof of financial means from your spouse (bank statements, employment contract, or tax returns)

Health insurance valid in Portugal

Police clearance certificate

Submit Application

Apply at the Portuguese consulate or embassy in your home country.

Your spouse in Portugal may also apply for family reunification at SEF (Portuguese Immigration and Borders Service).

Processing Time

It usually takes 2–6 months, depending on the case and supporting documents.

After Arrival

Once approved, you’ll enter Portugal with your visa.

You must apply for a residence permit at SEF.

Tip:
Strong proof of your genuine relationship (photos, joint bank accounts, communication history, etc.) is very important. Weak or unclear evidence is one of the main reasons for refusal.
