HOW TO MOVE TO PORTUGAL?
Relocation to Portugal. The legislation is characterized by openness for migrants who want to move here permanently and loyalty in visa matters. The homeowner gets the opportunity to legally stay in the country for 3 months in each half-year.
To qualify for work, you must have social insurance and also find an employer. When working for a Portuguese under contract, you can extend your visa for another 5 years.
It is somewhat easier and more profitable to create your own business, for which you need to have at least 5,000 euros in your bank account. Based on it, you will receive social insurance, an extendable business visa and other documents necessary to live in the country.
A residence permit is also issued on the basis of marriage with a Portuguese man and to students studying at Portuguese universities.
After 5 years of residence in the status of a residence permit, you can apply for permanent residence. You can obtain Portuguese citizenship after 6 years of residence in the country: 5 years with a residence permit and 1 year as a permanent resident of the country.
