Portugal: university applications and qualification recognition

CliniGA Education editorial teamSources checked:

An admission application, academic recognition and permission to stay are different processes. Different institutions may request the same document for different purposes. Begin by identifying the application route that applies to your nationality, residence and previous qualification.

Portugal

DGES distinguishes automatic, level and specific recognition for foreign higher education qualifications. The appropriate route depends on the qualification and purpose; these are not interchangeable recognition procedures. Match your qualification, target programme and document checklist in one application plan. Before paying for translations or authentication, obtain written confirmation from admissions of the required procedure; academic admission does not replace immigration permission or professional licensing.
