Australia to Portugal visa requirements

Australian ordinary passport holders can visit Portugal visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180-day Schengen period. Australian ordinary passport holders do not need a Schengen visa for short visits to Portugal. The allowance is up to 90 days in any rolling 180-day period across the whole Schengen area, not 90 days per Schengen country. The passport must have been issued within the previous 10 years and remain valid for at least 3 months after the intended departure from the Schengen area. Portugal also requires travellers to have sufficient means of subsistence; Portugal's official means-of-subsistence order sets EUR 75 for each entry plus EUR 40 for each day, or a statement of responsibility from a Portuguese citizen or legal resident. ETIAS is not required as of 20 June 2026; the official EU ETIAS site says it will start in the last quarter of 2026, with a EUR 20 fee for most adult applicants once operational. The Entry/Exit System is fully operational and digitally records entries and exits, including biometrics for short-stay non-EU travellers, replacing manual passport stamps. Work, residence, and stays over 90 days require the appropriate Portuguese or EU immigration route.
