I titled the Consulate General in NYC, but nobody answered. I am in Albany, NY. I am motion to Portugal for a word in the prototypal hebdomad of Sept, 2009. Any content module be helpful. (I am thinking to go direct to the consulate generalized in a hebdomad if null added entireness .)

Portugal is the Schengen country with the poorest online information about visa application.
In general the requirements for a Schengen visa are similar however there may be local peculiarities which differ from country to country. Required documentation:
• Schengen visa application form duly completed and signed by the applicant
• two passport type photographs [35x45mm], in color and plain background
• passport, valid for at least three months beyond the proposed stay
• document evidence of the purpose of travel [statement of your studying institute; invitation of the Portuguese institute]
• proof of the conditions of accommodation [hotel reservation]
• proof of sufficient funds [bank statements]; at least €74.82 [~$110] plus €39.90 [~$59] per day of stay.
• proof of travel health insurance which covers the costs arising from a repatriation for medical reasons, urgent medical attention and/or urgent hospital treatment, valid for the entire Schengen zone; the minimum coverage is €30,000 [$45,000].
For detailed requirements you should try to call during their [redicolous] operation hours or send an e-mail; alternately you could try to get information from the Newark consulate.

Hi Naveen,
I am also an Indian passport holder with F1 visa. I need to go to Portugal for a conference in first week of Oct’09. It will be great if you can share any information you have with me. I am located at Kansas. I can’t visit the consulate and calling them is’nt working. My main concern was if they have some deadline on the number of days in advance you need to apply before the visiting. Please, let me know if you have any information on this.
Thanks
