 Preparation of the fundamentals for obtaining a residence permit
 Portuguese immigration law provides 
 the ability to apply for a residence permit directly to the migration service without 
 obtaining a resident visa in the territory of the country of residence. 
 This process lasts from 1.5 to 2 years, during which you can freely 
 reside and operate in Portugal, but cannot leave the country 
 (The departure does not judge any problems, however the immigration process as 
 the rule has been canceled.)
