Portugal Immigration does not recommend that migrant workers go beyond the immigration protocols and enter the country with other intentions. 

But if you are already in Portugal as a tourist? 

There can be chances that you came to visit the country but now you liked it so much in several aspects and now wants to live here. Of course, living here is not the only condition, one has to work to meet his daily expenses. 

Immigration Law sections 88 and 89 describe two situations where volunteers can ask for a resident permit:
