Tourism Portugal kicked off its 2026 Portugal Trade Meeting roadshow in Brasília this Monday, underscoring the Iberian country’s determination to keep Brazil among its top long-haul source markets. Between 6 and 9 April, the delegation—featuring TAP Air Portugal, hotel groups and destination-management companies—will rotate through Curitiba, Belo Horizonte and Salvador. The sixth edition of the event focuses on B2B sessions that pair Portuguese suppliers with Brazilian tour operators, MICE planners and corporate-travel buyers.

To help Brazilian travellers and corporate mobility teams keep pace with these evolving requirements, VisaHQ offers an end-to-end online service that streamlines Portugal visa processing, ETIAS pre-registration and document legalisation; more details are available in Portuguese at https://www.visahq.com/brazil/
Industry observers note that the timing is strategic: the EU’s delayed Entry/Exit System (now expected late 2026) and new Schengen ETIAS fee mean travellers will soon face additional formalities, so reinforcing market confidence early is crucial. Portugal has spent the past decade easing mobility for Brazilians, from golden-visa tweaks to the 2024 nationality-law amendment that shortens naturalisation time from five to three years of legal residence. According to Banco de Portugal data, Brazilian arrivals jumped 23 % in 2025, and TAP has restored pre-pandemic seat capacity on the São Paulo and Recife routes while preparing to open a direct Porto–Rio service in July. For Brazilian corporations the roadshow offers a rare one-stop venue to negotiate allotments ahead of the 2026-27 winter travel season and to explore tax-friendly options for relocating executives to Portugal’s tech corridors in Lisbon and Porto. Consular officials travelling with the mission are also providing on-site briefings on Portugal’s digital-nomad visa and the new “start-up” residence permit introduced in January.
