I'm on the same boat as you are friend. when you establish residency in portugal you have 90 days to exchange your foreign license. After 90 days you can still exchange your license but you will have to take a driving exam. what you need is papers from your country that says your driving class and date of issuance of your license. If you are from america (like me) you need to get your abstract of driving record apostiled which is what I am trying to do but i'm not exactly sure how to do it. what country is your driver's license from?
