Hi guys

When you have a “REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE FOR CITIZENS OF THE EU/EEA/SWITZERLAND” from Portugal which is valid for 5 years - after which the person can apply for permanent residency from the SEF in Portugal - what proof needs to be provided to the SEF for continuous residency for the 5 years?  
Thanks
