Itemised fees
| Fee component | Amount | Mandatory? |
|---|---|---|
Consular D7 visa application# Current gov.pt price for this residence-visa service. Confirm the payment method and any currency conversion with the competent post. | €90 | Yes |
AIMA residence permit — first issuance# Payable after arrival. AIMA itemises analysis and card issuance and indexed its table on 1 March 2026; use that table for the exact service/channel total rather than an indicative flat amount. | Variable | Yes |
AIMA residence permit — renewal# Payable at renewal. Use AIMA's current indexed table for the procedure and channel rather than an old flat estimate. | Variable | Optional |
NIF tax number (typical fiscal-rep service)# A NIF itself is free when obtained directly. This line is an optional private-service estimate, not a government visa fee. | €150 | Optional |
Criminal record certificate with apostille (origin country)# | Variable | Yes |
Portuguese bank account opening (typical minimum deposit)# Bank requirements vary. Do not treat a deposit as a government fee or a universal amount consumed by the application. | Variable | Optional |
