Residence permit through the opening business in Portugal (Article 89.2)

Portugal is the most loyal country for immigration. It is one of the few countries in Europe where it is possible to get an EU passport even for a tourist. If you are already in Portugal, and you are not planning to return home in the next few years, then you and your family have the opportunity to legalize through the opening of an individual entrepreneur or company in Portugal (Article 89.2).

Обдирательство
В русскоязычных группах вам предложат сделать NIF за цену от 150 до 600 евро. Знайте — это обдирательство. Это будут обосновывать ответственностью "налогового поручителя", но если вы почитаете законодательство, то не найдете ничего про эту ответственность, кроме как за то, чтобы пересылать вам письма от органов. Так что справедливая цена не выше 150 евро за помощь, и то, можно при желании сделать бесплатно, если есть друзья португальцы.
Обдирательство
Это просто районная администрация. Прийти вместе с другом и оплатить пошлину около 6 евро (не забудьте паспорт). 
Сertificate of police clearance
The police clearance certificate has an expiration date of 3 months. If you did not have time to submit documents to the SEF by this time, then a certificate of good conduct must be ordered at the consulate of your country. Remember, if you have lived for more than six months in another country, you must also provide a certificate of good conduct from that country.
To rent an apartment and open a Portuguese bank account, you need a local tax number called NIF. You can get it remotely. This will require a fiscal representative (any person with permanent residence or citizenship, not necessarily a lawyer or consultant) in Portugal. This can be done inexpensively in various online services (see instructions). If you already have a passport from another EU country, Iceland or Norway, a tax representative is not required.

Get professional assistance
In order to obtain a residence permit, you need to prove the availability of sufficient means of subsistence from 705 euros per month and provide at least one tax receipt. You can open a bank account remotely through a representative or in person without a representative.
Get professional assistance
You need to provide an annual rent contract or a contract for the purchase of real estate or a certificate from the housing and communal services (confirmation of legal residence) in Portugal.
Get professional assistance
Opening a company or individual entrepreneur is easy, even with just a foreign passport and NIF. If you are a non-resident, then you will need a representative who is a Portuguese citizen or a person with permanent residence who has already opened the business in Portugal. Finanças (Tax office) requires a representative in case you have VAT obligations and you leave the country. It is better than the established capital is not less than 2-3 thousand euros. More details are in the instructions.

Congratulations! You are one step away from getting a residence permit. It remains to find confirmation of contracts if you provide a service, then contracts with suppliers or with customers (preferably with Portuguese companies).
To obtain a residence permit in Portugal under article 98.2, it is necessary to pay taxes in Portugal all the time before applying to the SEF.

It remains only to fill out a short questionnaire, choose a convenient date and submit the documents. They will be considered up to 90 days but maybe faster.
After you receive a residence permit card, your family also has the right to reunite with you and receive a residence permit. Remember that the main condition is to convince the SEF that you are financially independent. You must show at least 705 euros for yourself + 50% for spouse + 30% for each child. If the parents are divorced, then provide permission to live with you from the other parent.

Поздравляем! Вы в шаге от того, чтобы получить ВНЖ.
Ниже небольшая инструкция что делать теперь.
Часто SEF ставит запись сразу в визу. Пройдите по ссылке, и посмотрите когда она. Если слишком поздно, ты мы можем вам помочь записаться пораньше.
Запишите меня пораньше
На самой встрече вам дадут заполнить анкету. Лучше заполнить ее заранее, чтобы сэкономить и свое время, и время офицера службы.
Скоро будет пример заполнения
Обновить автомобильные права (если есть) 
Вы можете только полгода ездить с российскими правами, поэтому лучше пойти получить местные. Отечественные у вас отнимут, но если они вам зачем-то еще понадобятся, у себя в стране восстановите как потерянные.
Записаться на обновление
Обновить адрес в карточке
Если вы поменяли адрес проживанию вместо того, что вы указывали при получении визы, то вы должны в течение двух недель об этом сообщить и получить новую карточку. Не затягивайте, иначе можно получить аннулирование резиденции.
Записаться на обновление
Сделать NHR (0% налог на зарубежные доходы)
NHR нужно получить как только вы получили карточку резиденции. Это можно сделать и раньше, но лучше быть уверенным, что вы останетесь в Португалии точно.
