At Jenil Associates, we assist individuals and families in successfully applying for a Permanent Residence Permit in Portugal, ensuring a legally compliant, timely, and smooth transition from temporary residency to long-term status.
If you’ve legally resided in Portugal for five consecutive years under a valid Temporary Residence Permit, you may be eligible to apply for Permanent Residency, which offers enhanced rights and stability for your future in the country.
A Permanent Residence Permit allows non-EU nationals to live in Portugal indefinitely without the need for frequent renewals. It provides many of the same rights as Portuguese citizens, including access to education, healthcare, and the labor market, while maintaining your original nationality.
Permanent residency is ideal for those who have made Portugal their long-term home and wish to enjoy greater security and legal benefits.
