Transit through Portuguese airport international zone for onward Schengen travel within 24 hours; €90 application fee.
The Portuguese Airport Transit Visa (Type A) permits third-country nationals to transit through Portuguese airport international zones between two non-Schengen countries under the Schengen Code. It covers nationalities listed in Annex IV who lack visa-free transit qualification. Applicants must have an onward flight within 24 hours and valid entry authorization to their final destination.
The application fee is €90, with processing taking 5-15 days. The permit allows a 24-hour stay in the airport's international transit area without entering Portuguese territory or exiting the airside zone. Non-renewable, with no work authorization.
This visa is ideal for international transit passengers requiring documented Schengen compliance at Portuguese airports.
