Being one of the Schengen countries (together with Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland and The Netherlands) Portugal follows the common visa policy on short-term stays of up to three (3) months within the Schengen area. The citizens of Schengen countries are not subjected to border controls within the common area, though airlines or other carriers do require an identification document (e.g. ID card or passport).
