1. An application for an extension of stay submitted by the holder of a residence visa is accompanied by:
1 - O pedido de prorrogação de permanência apresentado por titular de visto de residência é acompanhado de:
a) Information proving the submission of the application for the grant of a residence permit;
a) Informação comprovativa da apresentação do pedido de concessão de autorização de residência;
b) Information proving stay in national territory, unless the reason for absence arises from a compelling need to remain temporarily in the country of origin.
b) Informação comprovativa da permanência em território nacional, salvo se o motivo da ausência decorrer de uma necessidade imperiosa de permanecer temporariamente no país de origem.
Check the two items required in paragraph 1, the exception for a compelling need to stay temporarily in the country of origin in point (b), and that paragraph 2 is repealed.
We prepare the company side of the file (employment contracts, payroll, tax and social security registrations, proof of activity) and coordinate with immigration lawyers on the application. A written answer and a fixed quote within one working day.
