Visas: fingerprinting also required for national entry visas (Type D)

Applicants are hereby notified that, following the entry into force of Decree-Law 145/2024, as of 11 January 2025, it will be mandatory to collect the fingerprints of applicants also for national entry visas (type D). Applicants will therefore be required to request an appointment and appear in person at the Consulate when submitting their visa application.
The procedures for acquisition and any exceptions are the same as those currently in place for short-stay visas (Art. 13 of the Visa Code).
