WYD Corps Pilgrimage

LISBON CORPS

Small group? No group? No problem!

"Lisbon Corps" is an open group made up of English-speaking, young adult individuals (18-39 years old) and small groups (youth and their chaperons, including families) from around the world.

Each pilgrim reserves his or her own flights to Lisbon. Your JMJyouth WYD Guide meets you at the airport upon arrival, and escorts the group to your hotel.

The Lisbon Corps group will experience the week of World Youth Day and two day trips together.

Visas to enter Portugal

Pilgrims from the U.S., Canada, Australia, Great Britain, and the E.U. may enter Portugal using their passports; a visa is not required.

Pilgrims from other countries may need a visa to enter Portugal. The official source for information on visa requirements is your local Portuguese embassy or consulate. For unofficial information about visa requirements, click here.

JMJyouth cannot assist pilgrims with acquiring visas to enter Portugal. All pilgrims will receive a letter confirming their WYD registration about 3 months prior to the event (April 2022). This letter should be included in your visa application. However, WYD registration does not guarantee that a visa will be granted. Visa decisions are typically made after the refund deadline has passed. This means that JMJyouth, unfortunately, is not able to provide refunds to pilgrims whose visa applications are rejected.
