Portugal - flag Portugal - Family & Partner - Family Reunion Residence Permit

Family Reunification

For an immigrant who has been in possession of a residence permit for at least a year, Portuguese legislation grants the right to family reunion to those members of a family who are living outside of Portugal – and, in exceptional cases, those already present in Portugal – and those who have lived with you in another country or who are dependent on you.

A residence visa will be issued to the family member when the relevant documentation has been handed in, so as to apply for a residence permit. A family member will be issued with a residence visa valid for two years. Both in the situation of a temporary and permanent residence permit, once two years have passed since the first permit was issued, and providing that family ties have been maintained, the family members will have their own independent right to a residence permit.

WhatPassport.com is a specialist UK Nationality and British Citizenship site offering an online search and assessment. Claims to hold a British Passport can be complex and the site offers a quick, simple search to give you the answers. While many people qualify for the UK Ancestry Visa based on holding a Commonwealth passport with a UK born grandmother or grandfather, we have found that if you have a grandparent born in the UK, or if your mother is British or your father is British, then there are several scenarios where you can claim British Nationality and the right to hold a British Passport. This stems from Britain’s collection of British Colonies, British Protectorates and British Protected States in the middle of last century and the Nationality rules concerning what are now the countries of the Commonwealth.
