Proof of Accommodation – living with a friend

Andrew asked 3 years ago

I have been approved for a D7 visa, and have my SEF appointment in August. I originally had a 6 month lease contract (which was part of my D7 visa application), but now have been offered by a friend a place to stay for free long term. What does the SEF require to show proof of accommodation when living with a friend?One of these two documents and a letter from the friend or something else?https://www.sef.pt/pt/Documents/TR_Fronteiras.pdf

Thanks so much!

Not sure if you saw my response on the post where you asked, but here goes:

Hi Andrew,

I believe that an invitation letter from your friend confirming that you will stay with them should serve as proof of accommodation. You can always call or write the consulate and ask them if this is sufficient for them.

Hope you’re having a great weekend,
