What happens to my D4 status if I change university or course?

The D4 is tied to genuine study or research at a recognised Portuguese institution rather than to one specific school. If you transfer course or institution, the key is that you remain continuously and genuinely enrolled in an eligible programme.

Let AIMA know about the change at renewal or as required, and keep documentation such as your new enrolment letter. A gap in enrolment, or dropping below full-time study, can put your permit at risk, so arrange any switch so your student status never lapses.
