Why Apostille is needed for Portugal
Portugal has been a member of the Hague Apostille Convention since December 5, 1983. Indian public documents must carry an official MEA Apostille sticker to be legally recognized by Portuguese authorities — including AIMA (Agência para a Integração, Migrações e Asilo), the Junta de Freguesia, the Portuguese Embassy in New Delhi, and the Consulate General in Mumbai — without any further embassy legalization.
Apostille is required for every major application in Portugal — student visas, the D7 Passive Income Visa, D8 Digital Nomad Visa, D2 Entrepreneur Visa, family reunification, DGES degree recognition, and business registration. Without it, your application will be rejected by Portuguese authorities.

Common Questions About Portugal Apostille
How do I get an Apostille for Portugal in India?
To get an Apostille for Portugal, your document must first undergo state-level verification by the relevant authority (such as HRD, Home Department, or Chamber of Commerce).

Many people prefer using professional Apostille services to ensure the process is handled correctly and without delays.

Do I need translation for my documents to be accepted in Portugal?
In most cases, yes. Portuguese authorities generally require documents to be in Portuguese. If your documents are in English, Hindi, or any other language, a certified Portuguese translation may be required either before or after Apostille, depending on the requesting authority.
