This website serves as a key platform for communication, reflecting the depth and strength of the bilateral relationship between the United Arab Emirates and the Portuguese Republic. It provides comprehensive and up-to-date information on areas of mutual cooperation, while also highlighting the consular and public services offered by the Embassy to UAE nationals, both residents and visitors, as well as to Portuguese citizens wishing to learn more about the United Arab Emirates.
Although formal diplomatic relations between the two countries span more than five decades, their historical ties extend much further. These shared links are reflected in the enduring Arab-Islamic influences found in Portuguese culture, as well as in the connections established during the Portuguese Age of Discoveries in the fifteenth century.
Since the inauguration of the UAE Embassy in Lisbon in 2010, bilateral relations have continued to develop steadily across a wide range of sectors. The Embassy remains committed to further strengthening cooperation at both the official and people-to-people levels by delivering smart, integrated services that meet the needs and expectations of all stakeholders with efficiency and professionalism.
