Post new topic

Hi all,

I am a South African, travelling on a SA passport.

I am going to be  moving to Portugal in 2018 for a year or more and need assistance with the application procedure.

Has anyone done it successfully and could guide me as to what to do :)

Thanks :)

Ok thank you for the message really is such a help.

There should be a proper information website to answer these questions with the various requirements.

I have struggled to find a South African based website with such information. maybe after the successful move we can create one :)
