Overview

In temporary residence, you can only be absent for less than 6 consecutive months or 8 months at a time. For permanent residence, you can only be absent for less than 24 consecutive months or 30 consecutive months. Remember, staying outside of Portugal for longer than permitted will cause your residency renewal application to be canceled or denied. If you need to stay outside Portugal for longer, you can request an extension of time. This is general information only. The appropriate legal path depends on the facts, timing, and authority involved. Before taking action, confirm the current rules for your situation and obtain individual legal advice where appropriate.
