Residency Help in Portugal

Secure Legal Stay in One of Europe’s Safest, Most Stable Economies

What Is Portugal Residency Permit

Portugal offers a structured residency path for non-EU citizens through work, business, family ties, or independent income. Once approved, your permit gives access to legal stay, tax registration, Schengen travel, and a pathway to Portuguese citizenship.

Applications are reviewed under SEF (Serviço de Estrangeiros e Fronteiras), Portugal’s immigration body. With clean documents and the right legal base, permits can be granted within months.

Who Needs It

You are required to hold a residence permit in Portugal if you:

  • Work for a Portuguese company or hold a job offer
  • Open a registered business or act as a self-employed provider
  • Live with a spouse or dependent holding a valid permit
  • Hold stable income from abroad or remote work (D7/digital nomad)
  • Plan long-term stay beyond the 90-day visa or visa-free period

Note: Portugal monitors overstay violations through SEF and linked European border systems.

The Process:

Step-by-Step Process

1. Eligibility Review and Case Design

We map the most stable legal route for your background whether D7, digital nomad, work contract, or business.

2. Tax ID and Bank Account Setup

A Portuguese NIF and local bank account are mandatory. We secure both in your name.

3. Lease Contract and Proof of Stay

We arrange valid housing agreements, required to show ties to Portugal.

4. Document Legalization and Translation

We handle notarized translations, background checks, income proofs, and health cover.

5. SEF Appointment and Submission

We book your immigration slot, attend with you, and defend your application in person.

6. Biometrics and Final Approval

Once approved, your card is printed and delivered. We collect or guide your pickup and activate your local ID.
