Visa & Entry

Polish passport holders enter Portugal freely as EU citizens. No visa, no time limit on stays. Bring your Polish passport or national ID card (both work). Portugal is in both the EU and the Schengen area, so flights from Poland are intra-Schengen with no passport control on arrival.

For stays beyond 3 months, register at the local Camara Municipal or Servico de Estrangeiros e Fronteiras (SEF, now AIMA) office to obtain a registration certificate. This requires proof of employment, self-employment, study enrollment, or sufficient funds. The certificate costs about EUR 15 and confirms your right of residence. EU citizens can live and work in Portugal without a work permit. Portugal's NIF (tax identification number) is needed for banking, renting, and employment, and can be obtained at any Financas office in about 30 minutes.

Direct flights from Warsaw to Lisbon run about 4 hours on TAP Air Portugal, LOT, and Wizz Air. Krakow to Lisbon runs about 4 hours 15 minutes on Ryanair. Porto also has seasonal connections from Poland. Portugal uses the euro. At current rates, EUR 1 equals roughly PLN 4.30. No mandatory vaccinations. Lisbon's Viva Viagem card (EUR 0.50) works on the metro, buses, trams, and ferries, loaded with zapping credit at EUR 1.65 per trip. Porto's Andante card works similarly at EUR 1.55 per zone.
