Portugal CPLP Residence Visa

As Brazilian citizens, your family may apply for a Portugal residence visa under the CPLP agreement — a pathway into Portugal and the wider EU.

Note: Specific visa-free country lists, healthcare coverage details, and CPLP visa requirements can change. Our consultants provide the latest official information during your consultation.

Beyond Brazil

The Path to Portugal & the EU

The CPLP (Comunidade dos Países de Língua Portuguesa) agreement allows citizens of member countries — including Brazil — to apply for a simplified residence visa in Portugal.

This route is popular among Brazilian citizens seeking to live, work, or study in Portugal, and can serve as a stepping stone toward broader European mobility.

Our team can guide your family through this process once Brazilian citizenship has been secured.
