FBI Background Check Apostille for Portugal

Portugal has emerged as one of Europe’s most attractive destinations for American expats, retirees, digital nomads, and investors. With its mild climate, low cost of living, excellent healthcare, and welcoming immigration policies, Portugal offers an unmatched quality of life. 


Whether you're applying for the Golden Visa, or another type of residency permit, you’ll need an apostilled FBI background check, and FBIExpress.com is here to make that part of the process quick and hassle-free.

Why You Need an Apostilled FBI Background Check for Portugal

To apply for long-term residency in Portugal, the Portuguese government requires a clean criminal background check from your country of origin. For U.S. citizens, this means obtaining an FBI background check, which must be apostilled by the U.S. Department of State to be legally accepted in Portugal under the terms of the Hague Apostille Convention.


This is a crucial document for your visa or residency application, and delays or errors can cause major setbacks. That’s why it’s essential to work with an experienced provider like FBIExpress.com, which specializes in fast, secure apostille services for FBI background checks.
