I plan to retire in Portimao later this year, I have a passport and have begun process to get a Schengen Visa (photos, FBI background check, etc). I plan to apply online once I have the documents. Do I actually have to go to the Portuguese Consulate in Washington to get this Visa? There is no office here in Texas. That seems like a major expense. I am going there for 2 weeks in September to find long term residency. There is also the issue of health insurance, Do I need a policy in force when I apply for residency?
Any Yanks who have done this out there? Would sure appreciate knowing what you went thru.
Regards,
Bill
