Nice & Thanks for the update...
The Declaration of Interest is valid for ONLY 3 Months, what's the fate of those that theirs have expired ? I am asking because I got mine since Dec but it has expired no thanks to Portuguese embassy's indefinite closure

How much do I need to migrate to Portugal from Nigerian ? How easiest it is to apply for the tourists visa to enter the country and total fund ?

Get ready to spend money here before the Job-Seeker Visa application is submitted:
- 3 months Portugal minimum wage in a Bank account per person (€760.00 per month x 3)
- Medical Travel Insurance (MTI) for 1 year @ around 32K (I used AIICO)
- Police Character Report @25K official from Possap website (I am yet to do this)
- Authentication of Educational Certificates and other documents @ N600 at MoE and N300 at MFA per document. Add the cost of travelling and staying in Abuja for 2 few days. I spent around 25K in total for all the documents.
- Airline Booking (Only Qatar and Ethiopian Airlines allowed to book-on-hold that you can print). If you don't know how to do it or have access to a printer, you have to pay someone to do it for you.
- If you don't have access to a scanner, (colour) printer and/or don't have skills to convert digital documents to png/jpg/pdf, then merge them, then reduce the sizes to fit the requirements, etc. you have to pay someone to do it. Then upload to the Portugal Foreign Affairs website and fill the form. In short, if you are Technology-challenged, be prepared to spend money.
- Pay for Accommodation for at least 20 days via AirBnB or any such service. (This is what I know happens in Brazil. I hope the Portugal Embassy in Nigeria will also accept AirBnB). We saw some AirBnB homes for 1,600 euros for a month in Lisbon. The Booking is part of what is submitted in the Visa application.

After Job-Seeker Visa approval:
- Air ticket to PT
- Return Ticket to Nigeria (the fully refundable one that is more expensive)
- Accommodation in PT after your AirBnB expires

After going through all the above, my family decided to just get a Migration Consultant in PT to do all the work for us. It is expensive. All our documents/letters/statements are scanned and in PDF form. They will go through our papers and advise us. They will submit on our behalf and we will wait for our visit to the Embassy. We are also getting their House hunting Service so that we can rent a house for a minimum of 6 months to 1 year. If the Embassy denies us, their Lawyer will fight for us.

Since I know the next question is "How much?" The Migration Service alone is 800 Euros per person. Children are half that price.
It is expensive.

Next question: "Name of Migration Consultant"... If you read one of my previous posts, I shared a link to Migration Tuesdays by Expats Portugal on Youtube. I have been watching the weekly Show for over 1 year now. The Migration Consultant Gilda Pereira's company Ei! is the one we are using. https://eimigrante.pt/en/

Good evening, please how do I get the circled part on the picture attached?
c00la:
The Embassy of Portugal has started accepting applications (after 8 months of closure) according to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dAbtsczMPA

I called the number on this website https://consular-protection.ec.europa.eu/representation-offices/portugal-pt-representation-nigeria-ng_en and the (short-tempered) man said I have to book an appointment to come to the Embassy from a website and proceeded to read out a url over the phone to me. When I tried to get him to repeat it after I rushed in to get a pen, he said "just use google" shocked
He refused to answer my subsequent call or SMS. cry

Anyway, God helped me and I was able to get the url by shear luck:
https://pedidodevistos.mne.gov.pt/VistosOnline/

You first register
Then you login

Here are things I have observed so far:
Use a computer preferably
Get your international passport nearby
14 char password with Uppercase, special char and number
A code will be sent to your email

The form requires that you attach all the documents like Travel Insurance, Flight reservation etc.


So we have work to do...Goodluck everyone!

Also see this Youtube short video: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/0avYmPaF5CQ

PS. I don't know what will happen at the end of the filling of the form.
