Overstaying in Portugal: fine, entry ban and enforcement
This is what Portugal's own national law adds on top of the EU-wide entry-ban mechanism — every Schengen country runs that same baseline process, explained on the general overstay-penalties page, but the fine amount and exact enforcement style are set by each country individually.
Fine
EUR 80–160 for an overstay up to 30 days, tiering up to EUR 500–700 for an overstay beyond 180 days
Entry ban
No Portugal-specific figure was found this pass — not confirmed, and not guessed
How it's enforced in practice
Legal basis is Lei n.º 23/2007 (Lei de Estrangeiros), Art. 192.º — the fine scales with how long the overstay lasted, and applies whether the person is caught in-country or at departure. Figures are quoted from a compiler site (Legispédia de Estrangeiros e Fronteiras) reproducing the article text; Portugal's official gazette (Diário da República) wasn't fetched directly this pass.
This is informational only, not legal advice — consult a qualified adviser if you're facing an actual return decision or entry ban.
