Regarding your inquiry, as a holder of a temporary stay visa for study purposes, there are ways to extend your stay in Portugal. However, to be eligible for an extension, you must maintain the same conditions that initially allowed you to obtain the temporary stay visa. This means that you must continue your study programs or have another valid reason, such as securing employment in the meantime. In this regard, the extension of stay can be granted for up to one year if the applicant holds a temporary residence visa, which is your case. In summary, you may either request an extension of your temporary stay visa if you plan to stay for a longer period.
