Embassy of Portugal

The register lists the head of mission as H.E. Mr. Joao Manuel Mendes Ribeiro de Almeida, Ambassador.

The register gives two telephone numbers, the second written in short form without the +91-11 prefix shown for the first. These details are as listed when the register was read on 24 September 2026. Telephone numbers and email addresses can change, so readers should check them on the Embassy's website before relying on them.

Consulate and honorary consulates

The register lists a consulate of Portugal in Goa. It also lists honorary consulates of Portugal in:

  • Chennai
  • Kolkata
  • Mumbai

Readers should ask the Embassy which office handles their matter.

National day

The national day of Portugal is 10 June (Day of Portugal, Camões, and the Portuguese Communities).

Visas and consular matters

The MEA brief of November 2022 does not set out Portuguese visa rules, fees, processing times or eligibility criteria, and none are given here. Travellers, students, workers and business visitors should check current requirements with the Embassy or the consulate before applying.

The brief lists air connectivity and migration among the subjects of the Foreign Office Consultations of October 2022, but gives no details of flights or of visa arrangements.

Working in Portugal

During MoS Meenakshi Lekhi's official visit to Portugal in September 2021, she and Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and Cooperation Francisco André signed the Bilateral Agreement on the Recruitment of Indian Citizens to Work in Portugal.
