Welcome to the Forum :)

The 26 Schengen countries are: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland.

So if what you say is correct, you CAN enter Portugal legally.

BUT these EU countries are NOT in the Schengen region Ireland, United Kingdom, Romania and Bulgaria. So you can not use your Schengen visa.

Hi thank you for the replay,
I have the Poland student visa but my problem is that I don't know the papers required to do the legal entry and where to  go for this purpose.

So you don't have a Schengen Visa?

I do have a schengan visa from Poland, this week I'll be coming to Portugal and I heard that i need to do a legal entry process in Portugal. So I don't know which office  doing it and what all documents required for that.

Sorry, we are going around in circles. If you have a Schengen visa that is all you need and gives you entry into the countries listed above.

All the information you need about Schengen visas can be found HERE.
