Pathway overview
For spouses/partners, minor children, dependent adult children, and dependent parents joining a sponsor legally resident in Portugal.
Verified via WebSearch, cross-referenced across multiple independent sources: you need a recognized family relationship — spouse or legally recognized partner, minor child, dependent adult child, or dependent parent — with a sponsor who holds a valid Portuguese residence permit or citizenship. Sponsors holding D7, D8, or investor-category permits specifically need at least 2 years of legal residence in Portugal first, a rule effective 22 April 2026, disclosed here but not separately modeled. The sponsor needs income of at least €920/month (rising for additional family members, not separately modeled), adequate housing, and good standing with Finanças and Segurança Social, with no relevant criminal record.
