Visa and entry into Portugal
You will need a Schengen visa in order to travel to Portugal if you are a citizen of a non-Schengen country without a visa-free travel agreement with Portugal, or if you have been refused for visa-free travel. It is the sole responsibility of the applicant to determine if a visa is required, and to apply for a visa. For general guidance, you can view the list of countries whose citizens are required to obtain a Schengen visa in order to enter Portugal.
You can apply for a Schengen visa at the Portuguese embassy or consulate in the country you reside in. In addition to the embassy and consulate, you can also apply for a visa through VFS Global. We encourage everyone who would like to participate in the Summit to book a visa appointment at the embassy, consulate or through VFS Global immediately, to ensure your visa application is processed in time for the event.
Please email us at events@baosystems.com to request an invitation letter to help support the visa application. Please include the following information in your email request: full name (as it appears on your passport), passport number, country of residence, nationality, work title, and organization name.
