What are the conditions for permanent immigrants in Portugal?

According to the Portuguese Permanent Residence Act, citizens of non-EU countries can apply for a permanent residence visa in Portugal without conflicting with the regulations related to long-term residence permits for citizens of third countries, and the following conditions must be met:

The first way:

Have a temporary residence permit for at least five years;

2. During the last five years of residence in Portugal, he has not been punished by imprisonment alone or for a total of more than one year. If he has committed an offence under this Law or involves terrorism, violence, specific violence or organized crime, he cannot apply for permanent residence even if he is only punished with probation;

3. There are ways to maintain life mentioned in Section 1, Item D of Article 52 Decree (with proof of sufficient sources of livelihood stipulated by internal affairs and social security departments);

4. Having a residence in Portugal;

5. Basic Portuguese level.

The second way:

1. You can apply for one-step permanent residence, change ten-year card after one year, and naturalization after two years.

2. A three-generation family will live forever, with low cost and short cycle.

3. The application conditions are simple, the materials are simple, and 100% approved.

As can be seen from the provisions of the bill, it is only stipulated that holding a five-year residence card can apply for permanent residence, that is, as long as the card replacement requirement of 22 2 is met. If you hold a two-year residence card, you only need to stay for 14 days in two years to renew your two-year residence card. The plan does not specify the immigration supervisor who needs to be satisfied when applying for permanent residence. It is suggested that the longer the residence time, the better. Specific requirements need to be determined by contacting the Immigration Department through a lawyer.

In addition, the bill requires applicants to have basic Portuguese proficiency, but the specific details have not been announced. Generally speaking, it is enough to attend a certain period of course training, and it is enough to be able to graduate without examination. However, it is recommended that competent applicants can obtain a Portuguese A2 certificate. With this certificate, even naturalization is enough.
