Portugal National Visa (D) photo guide

Guide policy

The Requirement record is the source of truth; unspecified values are not filled in.

• The Portugal MFA national visa document pages (identical wording on the temporary stay, residency, and CPLP pages) require "2 Photos, even, passport type, recent and in good condition to identify the applicant", and Decree-Regulation 84/2007 Art. 12.º(1)(a) confirms two identical passport-type photographs in colour on a plain background. The count of two, the colour, and the plain background are confirmed in two official layers.
• The authority publishes no photo dimensions in millimetres. None of the four official layers — the MFA document pages, the Embassy of Portugal in Tokyo page, the route-specific checklist, or the decree — states a numeric size (confirmed as negative evidence). This page keeps the size unregistered. 35×45 mm is the adopted value of the separate Schengen C (short-stay) procedure, not a National visa requirement. In the Tool, enter the size given in your application guidance.
