Before you rely on an appointment notification, make sure you understand the route you intend to use. The official booking page is the appropriate place to review the provider's current instructions, access requirements and any information relevant to your booking.
- Confirm your route. Check that Dubai in the United Arab Emirates and the Portugal tourist visa category match your intended application route.
- Review the official page. Open the VFS Global Portugal appointment page for the United Arab Emirates and read the information displayed there.
- Keep your details ready. Have the information you need for the official booking process available, based on the instructions provided by the official route.
- Check each appointment update carefully. Review the appointment information, route and timing before deciding whether to proceed.
- Complete the official steps yourself. Follow the provider's current process through its official website. Portugal Visa appointment updates does not replace that process.
