The requirement

Does Portugal ask for a flight reservation?

On the official checklist

The tourism checklist asks for a round-trip flight reservation in the traveller's name showing both the departure and the return date. If you will visit several Schengen countries, add proof of the internal legs: intra-Schengen flight reservation, train itinerary or car rental.

“Roundtrip flight reservation with the name of the traveller showing the date of departure and the date of return.”
VFS Global overview for Portugal and the Embassy of Portugal New Delhi 'Checklist for Schengen Visa (Tourism)' supplied for India, 2025-2026 edition

Indian passport holders need a Schengen visa for a holiday in Portugal of up to 90 days. Applications are lodged at VFS Global centres in India and decided by the Embassy of Portugal in New Delhi or the Consulate General in Goa. The file is checked for a clear trip plan, a round-trip flight reservation, accommodation for every night and bank-stamped proof of funds.

Before you apply

Getting the Portugal itinerary right

A visa officer reads your flight, hotel and application form together. They should tell one story.

  1. 01

    Arrange documents in the exact order of the checklist, on A4 paper and unstapled; the consular section asks for this explicitly.

  2. 02

    Bank documents must carry the bank's stamp and signature, so collect them from the branch rather than printing net-banking statements.

  3. 03

    The checklist states that holding a booked ticket does not speed up processing, so a held reservation is enough and you should not let a ticket date pressure your timeline.

  4. 04

    Keep the dates in the cover letter, flight reservation, hotel confirmations and insurance policy identical, including the arrival and departure days.

  5. 05

    Apply at least one month before travel; VFS stops accepting files 15 working days before the travel date.

Questions

Portugal flight reservation FAQ

How much is a flight reservation for a Portugal Schengen visa?

₹708 for the first traveller and ₹472 for each additional traveller on the same booking, taxes included. If your appointment is some days away, an extended-hold reservation is ₹1,770 for one traveller.

Is the reservation a real booking I can verify?

Yes. It is a genuine airline reservation held in your passport name with a booking reference (PNR). While the hold is live you can look it up on the airline's own website. It is a held reservation, not a paid ticket, and cannot be used to board a flight.

How long does the reservation stay valid?

The airline decides how long a hold stays live, typically from about 48 hours up to roughly two weeks depending on airline and route. Order close to your Portugal appointment date, or ask for an extended hold.

Does Portugal ask for a flight reservation for a visa?

Yes. The tourism checklist of the Embassy of Portugal in New Delhi lists a round-trip flight reservation in the traveller's name showing the departure and return dates. It asks for a reservation, not a paid ticket, and notes that a booked ticket does not lead to faster processing.

When should I book my flight reservation and apply?

You can apply up to 6 months before travel, and the embassy strongly advises applying at least one month ahead. Get the reservation shortly before your VFS appointment so it is still valid and verifiable while the file is being examined.

Do I have to pay anything before the VFS appointment for Portugal?

Yes. For Portugal the VFS service fee must be paid online in advance, and the appointment is confirmed only after payment. This applies at all centres across India.
