How do I apply for the Portugal D8 visa through the Newark consulate?

Updated · Applying from the US guide · Not legal advice

If you live in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware, your D8 goes through the Portuguese post in Newark, and files are submitted via Portugal's online visa portal (Vistos Online) and a consulate appointment. Bring proof that you live in the jurisdiction, the documents on the MNE list, and the €110 fee; confirm the post's own checklist before your appointment.
