Portugal is part of the Schengen Area, which allows visa-free travel for many nationalities, including citizens of the United States, Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom, for short tourist stays (up to 90 days within a 180-day period), provided you hold a valid passport.
Ensure your passport is valid for at least three months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen Area.
Your passport must have been issued within the last 10 years.
We recommend checking your passport well in advance of travel to avoid any issues at immigration.
At this time, you do NOT need an ETIAS to travel to Portugal. ETIAS has not yet come into operation, and applications are not currently being accepted. The European Union will announce the official launch date several months before it becomes mandatory.
When arriving in Portugal, non-EU travellers may be processed through the European Entry/Exit System (EES). This digital border system records your entry and exit electronically and may require your fingerprints and facial image to be captured during your first entry into the Schengen Area. This can result in slightly longer processing times at immigration, particularly during busy travel periods.
Check that your passport meets the validity requirements.
Ensure you have any airline or travel documents required for your journey.
We recommend carrying a copy of your travel insurance details and emergency contact information while travelling.
If entry requirements change before your departure, we will notify all travellers as soon as possible.
Be punctual: Arrive 10–15 minutes before all scheduled departures, training sessions and matches. Professionalism starts with excellent timekeeping.
Pack smart: Bring your football boots, shin guards, training kit and suitable footwear. Portugal enjoys a warm climate, but evenings can be cooler, so pack a light jacket and stay prepared.
Fuel your body: Eat balanced meals, stay hydrated throughout the day and fuel properly before training and matches to perform at your best.
Recover well: Stretch after every session, get plenty of sleep and look after your body to maximise your performance throughout the tour.
Respect the game: Show respect to teammates, opponents, coaches and match officials at all times. Play with integrity, sportsmanship and pride—you are representing your club and your country.
Represent your club: Whether you're in airports, hotels, restaurants or sightseeing, remember you are ambassadors for your club, your family and Iconz Experience.
Respect your surroundings: Help keep hotels, coaches, restaurants and training facilities clean and tidy. Treat every venue with respect.
Stay connected: Free Wi-Fi is available in most hotels, cafés and public areas. Share your experiences responsibly and remember to enjoy the moment, not just your phone.
Look after your valuables: Keep your passport, money and personal belongings secure at all times. Never leave bags or valuables unattended.
Emergency Number: In Portugal, the emergency number for Police, Fire and Ambulance is 112.
Enjoy the local culture: Take the opportunity to experience Portugal's incredible history, architecture, cuisine and welcoming atmosphere. Be respectful of local customs and traditions.
Mind the roads: Vehicles drive on the right-hand side of the road in Portugal. Always use designated crossings where possible and remain aware of traffic.
Currency: Portugal uses the Euro (€). Credit and debit cards are widely accepted, although carrying a small amount of cash can be useful for cafés, markets and smaller shops.
Stay sun safe: Portugal enjoys plenty of sunshine throughout the year. Wear sunscreen, drink plenty of water and consider a hat and sunglasses during outdoor activities.
Try the local cuisine: Be adventurous! Portugal is famous for fresh seafood, grilled meats, delicious pastries such as the famous Pastel de Nata, and a wide variety of local specialities.
