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

Yes. Uzbekistan is on the Schengen visa-required list, so an Uzbek citizen must obtain a Type C short-stay visa before travelling to Portugal for tourism or a visit. The visa is valid for the entire Schengen Area.

Gather the signed form, a passport valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned Schengen departure, two recent photos, travel medical insurance of at least €30,000, proof of accommodation, an itinerary, evidence of funds and a return flight booking. The visa fee is generally €90 for an adult; confirm the amount and payment method with the official source.

The Uzbek applicant lodges the application at the Portuguese consulate responsible for Uzbekistan or at its mandated provider (often VFS Global). The process runs through the official Portuguese MNE visa portal, followed by an appointment for submission and biometric collection. If Portugal is not represented locally, another Schengen state may represent it, confirm the exact channel before you start.

• 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 Uzbekistan, 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 Uzbekistan, 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 Uzbekistan 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, but can run longer in peak season. Apply at the earliest six months before departure and at least 15 days before. Book your appointment as soon as your dates are set, since slots are limited, and submit a complete file at the first visit.

Do not apply through the wrong Schengen country: the main-destination rule is strictly enforced. Avoid insufficient insurance (< €30,000), a passport with too little validity, or unconfirmed bookings. Poorly evidenced funds or weakly demonstrated ties to Uzbekistan are among the frequent grounds for refusal.
