   Those family members have the right to themselves become Withdrawal Agreement beneficiaries in the host State (or, in the case of durable partners, the right to have their residence as Withdrawal Agreement beneficiary facilitated in accordance with national law) at any point in time after the end of the transition period. Member States’ Withdrawal Agreement residence schemes must thus be open for applications of such family members.

2. Visits of family members in the form of short stays are not covered by the Withdrawal Agreement
   Importantly, the concept of family members joining the Withdrawal Agreement beneficiary means that they want to become Withdrawal Agreement beneficiaries themselves. This results from the wording of Article 10(1)(e)(ii) and (iii) and Article 10(4) WA. All three provisions have terminology making clear that what is at issue is those family members seeking residence in the host State under the provisions of the Withdrawal Agreement in order to join the Withdrawal Agreement beneficiary there.
   

   As a corollary, the Withdrawal Agreement does not govern short stays of family members of Withdrawal Agreement beneficiaries in the host State for the purposes of visiting the beneficiaries. This is consistent with the purpose of the Withdrawal Agreement, which was not intended to regulate future movement of persons between the UK and the EU. Family members of Withdrawal Agreement beneficiaries who want to enter the EU for a short stay therefore have to comply with the regular entry conditions for non-EU nationals, which are set out in the Schengen Borders Code (see in particular its Article 6(1)).

3. Visa facilitations for joining family members – Article 14(3) WA
   Article 14(3) of the Withdrawal Agreement provides for visa facilitations for third-country national family members who join the UK national Withdrawal Agreement beneficiary after the end of the transition period and who are, based on their nationality, submitted to a visa obligation.
   Visa facilitations for family members of Withdrawal Agreement beneficiaries are essentially the same as those under Directive 2004/38/EC. Therefore, family members of Withdrawal Agreement beneficiaries must be put on an equal footing with family members of EU citizens, provided the following cumulative conditions are met:
   
   • the sponsoring UK nationals is actually a Withdrawal Agreement beneficiary;
   • the family members requesting a visa are themselves covered by Article 10 of the Withdrawal Agreement; and
   • the visa application falls under Article 14(3) of the Withdrawal Agreement.

   Regarding the last condition, the first visa application of an eligible family member will generally fall under Article 14(3) of the Withdrawal Agreement. For multiple visa applications (second or more), the following applies:

   If the host EU MS of the UK national (and of the family member) has a declaratory scheme (as in Portugal), multiple short stay visas can be issued as long as the family member continues to have Withdrawal Agreement beneficiary status. In practice, it will be about whether the family member respects the absence rules (for non-permanent residence not more than a total of 6 months of absence in a year or exceptionally one single absence of not more than 12 months; in case of permanent residence, the family member can be absent for up to 5 years).

Documents Required

The checklists for all applicants who are relatives of EU, EEA, Swiss who intend to submit a Schengen visa application under the EU Free Movement Directive 2004/38/EC or who are relatives of UK nationals (and eligible under the Withdrawal Agreement) are the following:

Travel Medical Insurance List

Travel Medical Insurance is compulsory for Schengen visa applications under Regulation (EU) 2019/1155 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2019 amending Regulation (EC) No 810/2009 establishing a Community Code on Visas (Visa Code).

Therefore, when you apply for a short stay visa you need to prove that you have travel medical insurance to cover any expenses which might arise in case of urgent medical attention or emergency hospital treatment during your stay, including repatriation. If you apply for a multiple entry visa, you have to have insurance covering the period of the first visit. Kindly refer to the list of travel insurance companies of the Consular Posts of Schengen States providing travel medical insurances for Schengen visa applications.

This list is applied by the Schengen States of Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland as well as the European Union Member States of Bulgaria, Cyprus and Romania.

In addition, you shall sign the declaration stating that they are aware of the need to be in possession of travel medical insurance for subsequent travels.

Visa applicants are advised to note that other travel medical insurances issued by Indian insurance companies are not accepted for Schengen visa procedure. However, visa applicants may seek to obtain insurance in any other country where claims against the insurance company would be recoverable in a Schengen State. Make sure that you submit the original document of your travel insurance and it should have a QR Code in order to be verified.

Please note that the insurance shall be valid throughout the territory of Schengen States, even if your destination is Portugal. The insurance has to cover the entire period of your intended stay. The minimum coverage shall be EUR 30 000 / 50,000 USD / 50,000 CHF per person. Kindly be advised that travel medical insurance policy terms and conditions cannot limit the coverage of medical expenses or emergency care based on your age, resulting in coverage below this minimum coverage. Please make note that failure to provide adequate travel medical insurance will delay the processing of your visa application.

Processing Time

• Although the processing of these Schengen visa applications will have preferential status, please note that the standard processing time is of 15 calendar days, which starts counting only when the application reaches the Consular Section of the Embassy of Portugal in New Delhi (the visa application will need up to two working days to reach the Consular Section Embassy of Portugal in New Delhi) and that public holidays of the Embassy of Portugal in New Delhi will not count as working days.

Overview

The D2 visa is a residence visa aiming at entrepreneurs and foreign nationals who wish to establish their professional independent activity in Portugal and/or have been hired as service providers (within the range of liberal professionals) by a service provider or a company in Portugal.

Since the term ‘liberal professions’ is understood differently in different Member States of the European Union, for the purpose of the D2 visa application, a liberal profession is considered as follows: “liberal professions provide intellectual services based on a specific professional qualification or skill. These services are provided personally and rest on a relationship of trust. Members of the liberal professions carry out their activity autonomously and on a professionally independent basis. They are characterised by a professional ethos, have an obligation to the interests of their client, are required to act in the public interest and are subject to a system of professional organisation and oversight (as defined in the Rome Manifesto adopted by the European and Economic Social Committee in 2017). Hence, the liberal profession is “of a marked intellectual character, requiring a high-level qualification and are usually subject to clear and strict professional regulation. In the exercise of such an activity, the personal element is of special importance and such exercise always involves a large measure of independence in the accomplishment of the professional activities” (as defined by the judgment issued by the European Court of Justice in the case „C-267/99, Adam./.Administration de l’enregistrement et des domaines de Luxembourg“)

As for any residence visa, the D2 visa grants two entries in Portugal to the visa holder, being valid for a period of 4 months (120 days). During that period, the visa holder is required to apply for a residency permit with the competent Portuguese authorities: https://imigrante.sef.pt/en/solicitar/trabalhar/art90-aq/
