Official wording

Isenção da K-ETA: Até ao final de 2026, os cidadãos portugueses continuam isentos da necessidade de obter a K-ETA (Autorização Eletrónica de Viagem) para entrar na Coreia do Sul, bastando a apresentação do passaporte válido. … Duração da estadia: Os titulares de passaporte português podem permanecer no país até 90 dias por cada período de 180 dias.

Aevamo’s reading

The MOFA inbound table is the responsible ministry's consolidated statement of the visa-free entry regime for Korea: its '[외국인용]' section enumerates the countries/regions whose ordinary-passport holders may enter Korea without a visa, with each entry's stay and legal ground (협정/상호주의/일방적 면제). The default — that a visa is required in principle — is stated by the ROK Embassy pages (keta-ireland: 'Country not-eligible for K-ETA → Visa'). The underlying statute (Immigration Control Act Article 7) could not be fetched because law.go.kr renders via JavaScript; the MOFA table and the MOJ K-ETA portal list are the authoritative administrative sources actually held.

The ROK Embassy in Portugal confirms Portuguese citizens remain exempt from the K-ETA requirement through the end of 2026, entering visa-free with a valid passport, and states their stay as 90 days per 180-day period.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions

Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
