D7 into residence permit

Guest8795Guest20 November 2021 18:28:39

Hi everyone,

2 questions

1/ how are the chances to see the D7 visa converted into residence permit?

2/ how long it takes to get the 2 years residence permit after the appointment with the S.E.F?

Thanks for your returns.

1. If you get the first 4 months visa, is pretty sure you get the residence visa.

2 moreless in 3 weeks is mailed to your home in Portugal

In 2020, the temporary residence permit became valid for 2 years for the first application and 3 years for renewal. Before 2020, it was valid for one year, and was renewable for successive periods of two years.
