Visa for non-EU individuals requiring medical treatment at Portuguese healthcare institutions, renewable for continued care.
Portugal's Temporary Stay Visa for Medical Treatment (Type E1) allows non-residents requiring specialized healthcare exceeding 90 days at a recognized Portuguese healthcare institution. Applicants must provide medical confirmation, proof of sufficient funds for treatment and living expenses, and travel medical insurance with minimum €30,000 coverage including repatriation.
The visa is renewable if treatment continues, allowing multiple entries. The application fee is €110, processing typically takes 30 days, and stay is up to one year (extendable for ongoing treatment). The visa grants access to Portuguese healthcare and social security but does not authorize employment or lead to permanent residency.
This visa is ideal for individuals requiring extended specialized medical treatment in Portugal who need legal residency to complete their healthcare without the standard 90-day visa-free constraint.
