So if I get it right, bring your family over once you've got your residency sorted? Sounds fair enough 😄.
 
so if I move on a D7 visa, my family Can join me Later? that’s cool but Complicated 😕.
 
You need to be a resident for at least five years before you can apply for citizenship. Plus, there's the language test and proving your ties to Portugal.
 
The five-year residency requirement is pretty standard for citizenship in many countries. It gives you time to integrate into the society and culture.
