Irish passport holders enter Portugal visa-free for unlimited stays as EU citizens. No fee, no advance application. A valid Irish passport is required. Ireland is not in the Schengen Area, so there is passport control on arrival from Dublin, but EU citizens are processed quickly.
For stays beyond 3 months, register at the local Camara Municipal (town hall) and apply for a Certificado de Registo de Cidadao da UE at SEF (Servico de Estrangeiros e Fronteiras) or its successor agency AIMA. The fee is EUR 15. Bring proof of employment, self-employment, studies, or sufficient resources plus health insurance. A Portuguese NIF (Numero de Identificacao Fiscal) from a Financas office is needed for banking, renting, phone contracts, and almost everything else. Getting a NIF takes about 30 minutes in person.
