DUPLE for Portugal

DUPLE for Portugal: what's actually required

DUPLE is a required language qualification for Permanent Residence pathways in Portugal, based on a single verified rule sourced directly from AIMA (Portugal) — medium confidence, primary-source fetch blocked this phase. This page reflects that one rule — not a general claim that DUPLE is accepted everywhere in Portugal. If your visa category, licensing body, or provincial/regional authority differs from what's described here, the real requirement may not match this page, and you should confirm directly with AIMA (Portugal) — medium confidence, primary-source fetch blocked this phase before relying on it. You can still choose DUPLE, or any other exam, manually for your own application — a recommendation on ELAREH is never a restriction.
