Portugal Residence Permit Card
An official document known as a Portugal residency permit allows citizens of third countries to live and work in Portugal. Portugal generally grants two different kinds of permits:
Residence Permits
Permits for Residential Use
Residence Permits
These visas are typically only valid for three or four months. They are only intended to allow the applicant admission into Portugal prior to registering as a resident, and they are provided by a Portuguese Embassy. A foreign national has four months from the time they enter Portugal on a resident visa to register with the Immigration and Borders Service (SEF) and obtain a residence permit.
These are transitory permits that are typically good for a year and can be extended every year based on the applicant’s required length of stay in Portugal. After residing in Portugal for at least five years, holders of a temporary permit are eligible to convert to a permanent residence permit.
Those who want to stay in Portugal permanently can apply for permanent permits; those who don’t want to stay can keep renewing their temporary permit.
Those who want to stay in Portugal permanently can apply for permanent permits; those who don’t want to stay can keep renewing their temporary permit.
How long is the validity of a Portuguese residence permit?
Typically, a first-time resident permit is good for a full year. Your permission must be renewed annually, and it may be extended to a two-year period following the initial year.
You can convert from a temporary to a permanent residency visa after five years.
A residence permit used for academic purposes is only good for the duration of your study program, but you have to renew it every year, and once your program is done, your permit expires. If you have a student permit, you cannot change it to permanent residency.
