Visa and Entry Requirements
Attendees travelling to Portugal for Paste 2026 should review current visa requirements on the official Portuguese Government website.
Portugal is part of the Schengen Area. Travellers from visa-exempt countries, including Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and most EU member states, may enter Portugal without a visa for short stays of up to 90 days in any 180-day period.
The European Union is introducing a new Entry/Exit System (EES) for non-EU visitors. This system records biometric data (facial image and fingerprints) when entering and exiting the Schengen Area and is expected to be operational by the time of the conference.
The European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) is not yet in effect and is currently scheduled to begin operations in late 2026, after Paste 2026.
International delegates are encouraged to check entry requirements early and allow adequate time to arrange any required visas or travel documentation.
