What type of Consular Representation is the Honorary Consulate of Portugal in Kyoto?

Honorary Consulate - An Honorary Consul, whether Portuguese or of other nationality, is not a diplomat and lives in the country and location where his Consulate operates, appointed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to advocate for and protect the rights and interests of the Portuguese State and its citizens, in a city where there isn't official representation. Honorary Consulates are generally not competent to execute consular acts. However, under certain exceptional and justified situations, they may be authorized to conduct voter registration operations, civil registration, notary acts, and issue travel documents. The tasks of honorary consuls are performed, within their competency, in accordance to the Head of the Mission to which they are affiliated.

What are the Portuguese formalities to relocate to Portugal?

Portugal offers several visa options for those looking to relocate from Japan. Before applying for any visa, you'll need to obtain two essential items:

Here are the main visa types available from Japan:

  • D1 Work Visa: Designed for those who have secured a work contract with a Portuguese company. You'll need to provide your employment contract, criminal record, and proof of accommodation. This visa is initially valid for 4 months and can be converted into a 2-year residence permit.
  • D2 Entrepreneur Visa: For individuals planning to start a business or transfer an existing one to Portugal. You must present a viable business plan and demonstrate sufficient financial means. The investment amount varies based on the business type and location.
  • D3 Highly Qualified Worker Visa: Targeted at professionals with specialized skills or higher education. You must have a job offer in Portugal that matches your qualifications and meets minimum salary requirements.
  • D4 Study Visa: For students accepted into Portuguese educational institutions. You need acceptance letters, proof of financial means, and health insurance. This visa allows you to study and work part-time.
  • D5 Research Visa: Specifically for researchers and scientists working with recognized Portuguese institutions. You'll need a hosting agreement from a research institution and proof of qualifications.
  • D6 Family Reunification Visa: Allows family members to join relatives already legally residing in Portugal. You must prove family relationships and demonstrate that the resident family member can support you.
  • D7 Passive Income Visa: Popular among retirees and digital nomads. You need to show stable passive income from sources like investments, pensions, or rental properties.
  • D8 Digital Nomad Visa: A recent addition for remote workers earning income from non-Portuguese sources. You must demonstrate a stable monthly income and proof of remote work arrangements.
  • D9 Golden Visa: An investment-based residence permit requiring significant capital investment in Portuguese real estate, business, or other qualifying investments. The minimum investment varies by type and location, starting from 250,000€.

The application process typically involves submitting documents through the Portuguese consulate in your home country if you are not from Japan. Most visas initially grant temporary residence, which can be converted to permanent residence after five years. Remember that requirements may change, and processing times vary.

External Service Providers for the Honorary Consulate of Portugal in Kyoto

💡Tips:

Portugal has greenlighted certified service providers in numerous cities to accept visa applications, providing easier access for applicants and expediting processing time. This approach expands geographical coverage, allowing the service to handle a larger number of applicants effectively.

Portugal has inked agreements in 25 different nations, equating to a territorial coverage of 89 cities

This consular representation does not utilize VFS services and therefore supervises all visa applications directly. It manages every step from application gathering to decision making internally, which guarantees full control over the visa process but may lead to longer processing periods due to the increased workload.

I am so glad I found AnchorLess. Getting a NIF as a non-resident can be a headache and takes a lot of time, AnchorLess made it super simple. Highly recommended, worth the money.
