Hi all,

Maybe I鈥檓 reading too much into this (or too tired) but I鈥檓 having a hard time understanding the residency duration for a D7 visa.聽 The website says...

This visa is a residence visa valid for two entries in the country and allows the holder to remain on Portugal for a period of 4 months. The D7 visa is intended to enable the holder to obtain a residence permit for Portugal.
Like it was mentioned before, the residence permit obtained by the way of a D7 visa is valid for a year and it can be renewed for successive periods of 2 years until it is converted into a permanent residence permit after 5 years.
The holder of a residence permit obtained from the D7 visa, calculating by the period of residence, cannot remain outside Portugal for 6 consecutive months or 8 non-consecutive months.
Members of the family of the holder of the residence permit obtained via a D7 visa are also entitled to a residence permit, based on Portuguese family reunification statues.

Does this therefore mean that armed with this visa, I鈥檓 only allowed out of the country twice in a 12mth period?

I鈥檓 trying to organise with my employer about coming into the London office and they鈥檇 鈥減refer鈥� me to come in once a month (say arrive in London on a Monday and leave to go back to Porto on the following day).

One person is telling me that as long as I鈥檓 not out of Portugal for a combined total of 4mth of the year (scattered throughout the year) I鈥檓 ok.

But someone else has said that I鈥檇 be refused entry upon my 3rd return as I鈥檓 only allowed out of the country twice.

Anyone know the actual answer?
