Do I need a passport?

Yes! You will need a valid passport with at least six months of validity beyond the dates of your trip to Portugal to enter the country. Please check your passport to ensure that it is up-to-date as some airlines will not allow you to board if this requirement is not met. If you do not already have a current passport, we recommend applying or renewing your passport as soon as possible. The turnaround time from applying for one to receiving it in the mail is 8-12 weeks. Depending on the status of your passport, you may need to apply for a new passport in person or renew it by mail.
