The Portuguese consulate in Luanda refers in a statement consulted by Lusa that appointments will be opened on a monthly basis and that new vacancies will be opened, for the month of March, in the first week of February, and so on.
The institution urges applicants to apply for the appropriate visa application for their stay, according to the duration and purpose of the trip.
An authentic travel document valid for another three months beyond the scheduled departure date and proof of legal documental status if you are a national other than the country where you apply for the visa are some of the requirements for Shengen visas for short stays .

The Portuguese ambassador to Angola, Francisco Duarte, said, in October 2022, that the consulate general in Luanda was the largest visa issuing center in the entire Portuguese diplomatic network.
The diplomat said, on that occasion, that there was "greater pressure from more Angolans" who wanted to travel to Portugal and consulate officials were making a "superhuman effort" to respond to the thousands of visa requests.
On the 30th of October, the new regime for the entry of immigrants into Portugal came into force, which provides for facilitating the issuance of visas for CPLP citizens, within the scope of the Agreement on Mobility between Member States.
According to the decree, CPLP citizens can obtain a visa to look for work or a CPLP residence visa, being exempt from presenting valid travel insurance, proof of means of subsistence, copy of the return transport document and presential presentation to apply visa.
