Already in Portugal? Here’s How You Can Regularise Your Stay

You Are in Portugal! But Your Status Is Not Yet Regular

Many non-EU citizens enter Portugal legally as tourists, visitors, or short-stay travelers and later decide they want to remain in the country to live and work.

Portuguese immigration law allows certain people who are already in Portugal to apply for residency based on their work activity and presence in the country.

This process is commonly known online as “Article 92”, but it is officially part of the Portuguese residency framework managed by AIMA (Agência para a Integração, Migrações e Asilo).

Dream Life Europe provides administrative support to help you understand this pathway and prepare the required documentation correctly for official submission.

Who This Is For

This pathway may be suitable for people who:

  • Entered Portugal legally

  • Are currently in Portugal

  • Have started working or intend to work

  • Have proof of address in Portugal

  • Want to apply for legal residency from within the country

Every situation is different, which is why correct preparation of documents is essential.

How Dream Life Europe Helps You

We assist you with:

  • Understanding if this pathway may apply to your situation

  • Document checklists and preparation guidance

  • NIF, address registration, and essential setup

  • Organising proof of work activity

  • Preparing your file for submission

  • Booking and preparing for your AIMA appointment

  • Ongoing support throughout the process

Where legal representation is required, we coordinate with licensed Portuguese legal professionals.

Why Proper Preparation Matters

Many applications are delayed or refused because:

  • Documents are incomplete

  • Work activity cannot be properly proven

  • Incorrect information is submitted

  • The applicant does not understand the required steps

We help you avoid these common mistakes by ensuring everything is ready before submission
