BLS International operates the Portugal Visa Application Centres in Russia, providing administrative support for people applying to travel to Portugal. The centres accept visa applications on behalf of the Portuguese consular authorities and serve applicants in Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Ekaterinburg, Samara, Nizhny Novgorod, Kazan and Novosibirsk. Applications are available for a range of travel purposes, including tourism, business, medical treatment, study, cultural activities, and travel by drivers, carriers, property owners and sailors.

The website guides applicants through choosing a visa type, preparing documents, booking an appointment and understanding the steps after submission. Applicants can also track their applications online and access information about fees, processing times, required biometric data and travel insurance. Appointments must be booked through the official website or call centre, with some exceptions for family members of Portuguese citizens.

BLS International also provides additional value-added services at its visa centres. It advises applicants to rely on official channels, prepare complete documentation and allow sufficient time for consular processing, which may take 45 days or more in some cases
