Senegal visa-free entry for citizens of Portugal: 2026 entry rules

No. For a short tourist stay, a passport from Portugal is enough to enter Senegal, with no visa or prior authorisation. This arrangement covers tourism: for an internship, a job, volunteering or studies, check with the diplomatic representation of Senegal, as other rules may apply.

No processing time is needed since there is no application. Use your preparation time to check your passport’s expiry date and, if necessary, renew it in Portugal. Keep a copy of your documents in your email or on your phone, and plan your return so that your time in Senegal does not exceed 90 days.

The document to present is your passport, valid for the whole stay; if a minimum validity is required, the embassy of Senegal will specify it. Do not rely on any other identity document without prior official confirmation. On entry, a return ticket, an accommodation booking and proof of funds may be requested. The stay is limited to 90 days.

No visa fee applies, as no visa is required. Before leaving, gather your passport, tickets, bookings and a travel insurance certificate if you have taken out a policy, which is still advisable to cover possible medical costs. Any health requirements should be checked with the Senegalese authorities.
