How does the application work at a high level, what rights does the family member receive, how long does the status last, and how can it become independent or longer-term where officially stated?
Foreign minors born in Portugal receive a resident status identical to that of either parent; the application uses the mandatory Modelo 1 form. Holders of residence permits granted without a visa under the preceding paragraphs enjoy the rights in Article 83 (education and vocational training, employed and self-employed work, health care, access to law and courts). The temporary residence permit is, subject to special legal provisions, valid for two years from issue and renewable for successive three-year periods. The official source does not state a path to independent or longer-term status.
