Visa for Portugal from Mongolia: price, documents and processing time 2026

Yes. Mongolian citizens must obtain a Type C Schengen visa for a tourist stay in Portugal, valid for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Portugal must be your main destination (first entry or longest stay) for the application to be handled by Portugal.

Prepare a valid passport, a passport photo, proof of accommodation, a round-trip itinerary, evidence of funds, and travel medical insurance covering at least EUR 30,000. The adult visa fee is typically EUR 90; confirm the current amount on vistos.mne.gov.pt.

Apply at the Portuguese consulate responsible for Mongolia or at its authorised visa partner (VFS Global, BLS or TLScontact) serving the area that covers Mongolia. Book an appointment, complete the form, give your biometrics and submit the file in person.

• Your application goes to the state that is your main destination. If Portugal is where you spend the longest, it handles the file, whatever the entry point.
• With no main destination, the competent state is the one you enter first.
• If Portugal has no consulate in Mongolia, another Schengen state may act on its behalf under a representation arrangement, or the file goes to the post accredited for your country.

Then the application goes to the post accredited for Mongolia, often in a neighbouring capital, or to a state acting on its behalf. Confirm which post is competent with the official source before travelling to a third country to apply, a rejected file at the wrong counter costs the trip and the fee.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Mongolia but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days; apply at least three weeks before travel and no more than six months ahead. Attach clear proof of insurance and a consistent itinerary, and do not buy non-refundable tickets before the decision.

Refusals often come from inadequate travel insurance, poorly documented funds, choosing the wrong main-destination country (applying to Portugal when the stay is mostly elsewhere), or applying too late. Check every document against the official portal.
