INTRO : Portugal Schengen Visa
The Schengen area is the area that abolished border controls between its common borders. It operates as if it were a single country for the purposes of international travel and has adopted a common visa policy. Portugal Schengen visa holders can travel within the area for 90 days for tourism or business purposes.
IBC has a number of qualified knowledgeable people who will ascertain the best visa option for you. A Schengen visa is beneficial for residents and those wishing to relocate to Portugal while waiting for the permanent visa process to be completed or after Brexit.
The most practical way to facilitate the process for prospective residents and investors is to have an agency with knowledgeable and expert people in the field, IBC is, for sure, the best choice.
