Portugal Ends Brazil Mail-In Visas April 17

Portugal terminates mail-in visa applications from Brazil starting April 17, requiring in-person submissions at VFS Global centers with prior appointments. This shift ends the pandemic-era courier option, forcing applicants to travel to available capitals and plan finances accordingly. Requests sent by mail after the date face return and delays. Travelers dreaming of Lisbon's sun-drenched azulejo streets or Porto's port wine cellars must book slots early to avoid setbacks.
