Published 8 November 2026, 22:47
Visto D4 (national student visa)
A visa for study lasting more than 90 days for people who are not EU citizens. You are asked for proof of enrolment from the university, means to live on (the official guideline is about €870 a month), accommodation, health insurance for the whole period, a criminal record certificate and educational documents, legalised and translated. The Study & Research in Portugal portal advises applying one to three months in advance.
Where you come across it. Getting into a Portuguese university from abroad; long-term language courses and internships.
After arrival, you obtain a student residence permit from AIMA. Requirements vary between consulates and are not set out anywhere in advance: in Belgrade in September 2025 a language certificate was required, while in Moscow in May 2026 applications were accepted without a prior appointment.
