Family Reunification

Foreign nationals with a valid residence permit (temporary or permanent) are entitled to bring family members to Portugal. This can include:

• Family abroad who have lived with or are financially dependent on the applicant
• Family already in Portugal under similar circumstances

Refugees also have a right to family reunification, whether the family is in Portugal or abroad.

Note: Brazilian citizens may benefit from the Equality Statute, granting them additional rights beyond those of other foreign residents.
