Enjoy a comfortable life without breaking the bank. A lower cost of living compared to many European counterparts means fresh seafood at market prices, vibrant cities, and a slower pace are all within reach for most Americans.

Portugal’s FBI Background Check Requirement for D2, D7, and Other Visas

Getting your documents ready for Portugal can get quite confusing whether pursuing residency through the popular D7 visa program or securing a D2 entrepreneurial visa. You might still be confused between getting your FBI police check apostilled or embassy legalized. This is a pretty common question that we get from US expats moving to Portugal.

Since the FBI clearance certificate is a federal document, you will need to get it apostilled by the Office of Authentications in Washington, DC. You can check in with your VFS office to get a complete list of documents that you need to get apostilled. An apostilled FBI certificate is mandatory since it is used as background clearance by Portugal for visa applications.

Working with a professional apostille service like Globeia will help you get your FBI check apostilled and delivered to your doorstep in Portugal.
