Portugal Visa Extension & Renewal Services - Expert Help
Living in Portugal on a long-stay visa or residence permit comes with strict deadlines. You must renew your visa or residence permit before it expires to stay legally. MetConnect LDA offers expert Portugal visa renewal help for all major visa types – from D7 (Passive Income/Retirement) and D2 (Entrepreneur) to D6 (Family Reunification), D4/D5 (Student), D8 (Digital Nomad), Golden Visa (Investment), job-seeker and employment visas, as well as standard residence permit renewals.

Recent Portuguese law (Decree-Law 41-A/2024) even extends the validity of expired visas/permits until June 30, 2025, but it’s best to apply for renewal well before that. We guide you step-by-step through documentation, appointments, and any legal representation, so you can continue living in Portugal without disruption.
