## Notes
Bahamas passport holders are exempt from short-stay visas under the EU-Bahamas visa waiver agreement, which Portugal applies as a full Schengen member; the upcoming ETIAS will add a pre-travel authorization requirement once launched, but it is not yet in effect.

## Can this stay be extended from inside the country?
- Possible inside: **limited**
- Must leave the country: **yes**
- Cost: €30

Only up to the 90-days-in-180 ceiling. Going beyond it requires force majeure, and the resulting sticker is usually valid only in the country that issued it.

**Cost detail.** Free where the grounds are force majeure or humanitarian. The €30 applies to serious personal reasons, or to an entry delayed through no fault of your own.

**How.** Apply to the immigration authority of the Schengen state you are currently in — not the consulate that issued the visa — before your visa expires. An expired visa cannot be extended.

**If you cannot extend.** If you know in advance you need longer than 90 days, the route is a national long-stay (Type D) visa, applied for from outside the Schengen Area before you travel.
