Portugal is a country located in the western part of Europe. Its warm climate, distance from military conflicts, affordable education costs, and developed healthcare system are factors that encourage foreigners to visit the country in large numbers. Portugal has been a member of the EU since 1986 and ratified the Schengen Agreement in 1995. For this reason, Russians need a Schengen visa to enter the country. Foreign visitors come to Portugal in large numbers to work, study, and undertake business projects.
