Hello people,

I understand most embassies require you to book for an appointment online when applying for Visa to travel, however, I understand some embassies give allowance for walk-in appointments were you pay to get an available slot sooner than waiting particularly in urgent circumstances. Like I know UK embassy allows for that's. But pls why is Portugal embassy different?

I have a friend who just secured admission for a masters program in Portugal and needs to resume school this September. However there seem to be no available slot on the Portugal embassy website portal till December. He even called the embassy to ask if he could pay for walk-in appointment and they said he has to book online that they don't do walk-in and there is no other way for him.

Please any advise for my friend? Kindly share any related experience you might have had🙏

Please, how is she/he booked the appointment, I have the former secretary to the embassy's contact and he told me to book an appointment the consular had to give you a date to come, when I asked him to help me get a date from the consular, he said it was going to cost me 30k but firstly I'd like to know how your friend booked his/her appointment if I can go through that route or just pay him to get the appointment date

Can your contact help me please get the slots? I have done all necessary documentation and if I can't get appointment on time then I will have to start documentation again, so I don't mind paying to get appointment. Police character last for 3months which means if you can get appointment within that period then you have to do another police Character Certificate same with travel insurance. Anticipating your response on how you can help please

I'd give you feedback soon, have you authenticated your police character certificate? If yes, how much did you pay for authentication?

I haven't because it's the new one not the old paper own and the requirements didn't state you should authenticate it. Kindly WhatsApp me to share my experience of why the appointment date is vital above all these authentication.
