Entry requirements

Portugal entry requirements for Canadians

Do Canadians need a visa for Portugal?

No visa for stays up to 90 days in any 180-day period (Schengen). At the border you must register with the EU Entry/Exit System (EES): fingerprints and a facial image are taken on first entry instead of a passport stamp — allow extra time. ETIAS is not yet live; operations are planned for the last quarter of 2026, applications are not open yet (apply only via the official EU site when it launches).

Passport valid at least 3 months beyond Schengen departure, issued within the last 10 years. Always confirm on the official source before you travel.
