Your Path to Living in Portugal
Portugal
Legal Status Assessment and Regularisation
If you are currently in Portugal without a valid residence permit, we review your entry history, visa or previous permit, AIMA files, employment, studies and family ties to identify the legal options that may apply to your situation.
Legal Status Assessment and Regularisation
Legal status assessment
A confidential legal status assessment maps your situation against routes that may still be available. It does not promise a residence permit or a single standard outcome.
What we review
- Entry date and route into Portugal or Schengen
- Current passport validity
- Visa type and expiry date
- Previous residence cards
- AIMA or former SEF references
- Employment and Social Security history
- Study enrolment
- Family relationship with Portuguese, EU or legally resident family members
- Children living, born or studying in Portugal
- Official notifications or decisions
An employment contract, NIF or NISS alone does not create a residence right. Options depend on entry history, prior applications, evidence and personal circumstances.
How it works
Confidential assessment
We review your entry history, documents and personal circumstances in confidence to understand what may still be available.
Identification of the possible legal route
We map your facts to the legal options that may apply — without promising a single outcome for every case.
Document and evidence preparation
We help you organise the evidence needed to support the selected route or next step.
Submission, follow-up or alternative legal plan
Depending on the assessment, we support submission of a lawful application, follow-up of an existing process, or preparation of an alternative legal plan.
