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

Holders of a Sudanese passport are subject to the visa requirement for the Schengen Area, of which Portugal is a member. For a tourist stay not exceeding 90 days, a uniform Type C Schengen visa is required. It allows travel throughout the Schengen Area, but Portugal must be the main destination or first country of entry.

The file typically includes a signed application form, a valid passport, a recent passport photo, a return flight reservation, proof of accommodation, evidence of sufficient funds and travel medical insurance covering at least €30,000. The visa fee is usually €90 for an adult; reduced rates or exemptions apply to certain categories. Confirm the exact amount and payment method with the official source.

Sudanese applicants submit their file to the Portuguese consulate competent for Sudan or to its outsourced visa application centre (VFS Global, BLS or TLScontact, depending on the country). If Portugal has no direct mission in Khartoum, it may be represented by another Schengen state; confirm the exact channel on the official portal. An appointment and the capture of biometric data are mandatory.

• 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 Sudan, 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 Sudan, 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 Sudan 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 generally takes 15 to 45 days. Lodge your application no earlier than six months and no later than 15 days before the intended travel date. Present a coherent itinerary and clear financial evidence, and check entry health requirements, including a possible yellow-fever vaccination certificate.

Frequent errors include applying to the wrong Schengen country when Portugal must be the main destination, inadequate insurance, unproven funds and a passport valid for less than three months beyond the intended departure date. Do not book non-refundable tickets before the visa is granted.
