Dear all
I am currently living in Portugal (near Lisbon) right now. I have fiscal number and social number both. Paying taxes regular basis. And I have my appointment to SEF coming November, 2016. After I got my appointment date, I change my job without any gap following by contract date issues. By November, my tax will run for 16 months. I came here last year June, 2015. I came to UK with a valid visa in 2006 and I traveled to Austria once for a week in 2008 with schengen visa . Since last year I was in UK. Last year when I came in Portugal, unfortunately I didn't have any valid schengen visa to enter. Somehow I got entered into Portugal. Recently I heard , if anyone come in Portugal or any other Europe country without schengen visa , they will not get residence permit. Is anyone can tell me, am I able to get residence permit here or not? Thank you
