please is it compulsory you use your personal proof of funds or someone close to you?

It is highly advisable to use your personal account, especially if you are going for masters, and you don't have above 30m in your account, if you are working, you can use your pay slip, it will help u alot, but if you dont have the aforementioned you can use your close relation, his or her personal account because embassy will call them to comfirm.

Hello pls house I need a list of schools that doesn’t not require legalization of documents so I can apply for in Portugal. I’m new here and I’d love for anybody to help me with this please

Please make sure you authenticate and legalize your certificate before applying, even if you reach out to the sch via email, some may not be specific on that, but they will eventually denial you if you fails to legalize before applying, it happen to some applicants last year, that's after collecting non refundable application fee from them.

Some school will open 1st phase of admission this February and some will still open next month, any sch you want to target, check their programs and also you can mail the course director to get more information.

You should also note that in this 2026 visa application, interview at the Portuguese embassy in Abuja is now compulsory.
Very soon l will be posting some of the interview questions you be expecting.

Hello Friends, I am trying to book appointment for document legalization at the embassy but seems no availability anytime soon. Is anyone going to the embassy that can help? I will make it worth your time.

l can assist but which certificate do you want to submit for verification/legalization.

Mrrrosaro:
Please I'm sincerely curious, do I need English proficiency cert to apply for masters in portugal ?

It is not compulsory but some schools request for it, so we advice add you add it, never forget to write good motivational letter, another important documents is CV, the more experience your greater chance of getting admission, even Recommendation letter, it put you ahead of others in getting admission and also even Scholarship with good grade. As the admission is getting competitive, you will have to put in a good application if you want to get admission.
legalize your documents before applying, this is very important, because most applicant that applied last year without legalized certificates was denied admission.

Please note that IPB open first phase of admission application today
but you will have to apply with legalized document.

currently UPORTO is open in some departments
many schools will open its lst phase in February
ISCTE 2nd phase have open
NOVA IMS will be open 3rd February

some schools like ISCTE first admission list will be released first week of February
