ENTRY AND RESIDENCE IN PORTUGAL
The residence of third-country nationals in Portugal is defined by the motive of their entry and duration of their stay. For short-stays, the third-country nationals must respect the Schengen rules. For long-stays, for more than 3 months, they have to respect the current national legislation.
There are some exceptions that allow the entry and staying of third-country nationals in Portugal, with visa exemption.
