|---|---|
| Living costsAccommodation, food, transport — a working estimate | $11,600 |
| Student visaGovernment fee, one-off | $150 |

Not in the table above: Consular fee ~€90 + visa-centre service charge at the counter (~$129 real counter cost). Post-arrival: residence permit fee ~€155. Budget for document translation/authentication. Health insurance is MANDATORY (repatriation cover required), not optional — the $400/yr figure is mid-range.
University of Porto publishes this fee as EUR 5,000 a year. The dollar figures above are converted, so treat them as approximate and quote the published amount when you apply.

After you graduate

What the headline leaves outArticle 122 permit, normally 12 months and generally NON-RENEWABLE — you must convert to a work permit inside the year. Requires proof of means of subsistence, roughly EUR 13,000 in a Portuguese bank account. Apply from inside Portugal.
