Visa Requirements for Traveling to Portugal

If you’re planning to attend our conference in Portugal, it’s essential to verify whether you need a visa to enter the country. Portugal is part of the Schengen Area, and visa requirements can vary depending on your nationality.

We encourage all international travelers to check the visa regulations for their country of origin as early as possible to avoid last-minute complications. If you require a visa, you may need an invitation letter or a notification of abstract acceptance to support your application.

To learn more about visa requirements and how to apply, visit the official Portugal visa page. For additional assistance with invitation letters, feel free to contact our team through the conference’s official email.
