Process
How to apply for a Portugal visa from Pakistan
Two ways to read this: what we do for you, and what the Portugal process involves. Most refusals we see come from files people assembled alone.
With Travel Visa Pk
15+ years of experience, one adviser from first message to departure. This is what applying for a Portugal visa through us looks like.
- Step 1
Tell us your case
One message on WhatsApp or a visit to Blue Area: your job, your travel dates and who is going.
- Step 2
Free document check
We check what you already have against the current official list and tell you what is missing. No charge, no obligation.
- Step 3
We build the file
Cover letter, sponsor and employment papers, bank statement explanation, translations and the forms, prepared the way the embassy expects to see them.
- Step 4
Appointment and fees
We book the slot, tell you the exact fee to pay on the day and brief you on what happens at the centre.
- Step 5
Review, submit, track
A second adviser reviews the file before submission, then we track it until the decision.
- Step 6
After approval
Tickets, hotel, insurance and transfers arranged in one place, so your trip is not five separate bookings.
What the official Portugal process involves
- 1
Confirm your visa category (tourism, business, family visit, or other) and get the matching Portugal checklist.
- 2
Submit your application exclusively through Gerry's — not VFS Global.
- 3
Prepare the Schengen document list for Pakistan (below) alongside Portugal's category checklist.
- 4
Wait for a decision, typically within 15 working days of a complete application.
- 5
Contact the Portuguese Embassy consular section directly for anything not covered by Gerry's.
Where the application is submitted
- Embassy of Portugal in Islamabad: consular section, visas
We book the appointment, prepare the file and tell you exactly what to carry on the day.
Common mistakes we fix before you submit
- Going to VFS Global by mistake — Portugal applications go through Gerry's.
- Not downloading the correct category-specific checklist before applying.
- Applying less than 15 days before travel, leaving no room if the decision takes the full 45 days.
- Emailing the embassy directly for routine application steps instead of using Gerry's.
