पुर्तगाल: यात्रा से पहले क्या जानें
सबसे ज़रूरी
- Lisbon charges a EUR 4 per person per night tourist tax (up to 7 nights); Porto and many other towns also charge.
- Some motorways use electronic-only tolls: rental cars need a transponder or registered card.
- Street sellers in Lisbon's Baixa offering drugs sell fakes; buying is illegal and a common scam.
- Schengen EES applies on arrival; ETIAS is not yet live.
प्रवेश और वीज़ा
Portugal is in the Schengen area. Non-EU visitors are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES) on first entry: fingerprints and a facial photo, no passport stamps. Visa-free visitors may stay 90 days in any 180 across all Schengen states. ETIAS is not operating yet: its launch is now expected in 2027, so ignore sites selling "ETIAS" approvals.
पासपोर्ट की वैधता: Non-EU passports: valid at least 3 months after you leave the Schengen area and issued within the last 10 years.
सीमा पर पूछा जा सकता है
- EES registration at the first Schengen border: fingerprints and face photo (children under 12 give no fingerprints). Allow extra time at passport control.
- Border guards may ask for a return ticket, accommodation proof, travel insurance and funds for your stay.
- Your 90/180 days are counted across all Schengen states together; use the EU short-stay calculator to check.
सीमा शुल्क
- From outside the EU: 200 cigarettes, 1 L spirits or 2 L fortified wine, 4 L wine, 16 L beer; other goods up to EUR 430 by air/sea (EUR 300 by land).
- Personal imports of meat, milk and dairy products from non-EU countries are banned (small exceptions for infant food and medical needs).
- Declare cash of EUR 10,000 or more (or equivalent) when entering or leaving the EU.
- Prescription medicines: carry the prescription; narcotic or psychotropic medicines need a Schengen certificate (Article 75) or a doctor's letter.

कहाँ न बदलें
- Airport and station exchange bureaux (poor rates, high commission).
- Independent ATMs such as Euronet in tourist zones: high fees and currency-conversion offers.
- Euronet ATMs in Lisbon, Porto and the Algarve.
एटीएम: Multibanco ATMs normally charge no local fee; Euronet and similar charge several euros and push currency conversion.
टिप: Optional: 5-10% for good restaurant service; round up in cafés and taxis.
- When a card terminal or ATM offers to charge you in your home currency, decline and pay in local currency: dynamic currency conversion adds roughly 3-10%.
