In case of approval, the Embassy or Consulate has up to 60 working days to issue the permit. After issuing it, the applicant will have 4 months to travel to Portugal and apply for a Residence Permit at the Portuguese Borders and Immigration Service (SEF).
Is it possible to request family reunification with this permit?
Yes. Spouses, minor children, dependent children of legal age (who are studying/enrolled in a teaching establishment) can apply for a family reunification permit.
