Holders of Schengen type D visas are permitted to circulate freely in Schengen countries other than the issuing one for a period of not more than 90 days per half-year and only if the visa is valid. You can also find this on the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs' website:

Since Portugal is a Schengen country, you could visit Portugal as long as the conditions described above apply.

As for SEF, if you have any questions for them, you can find their contact details on the website: https://www.sef.pt/en/Pages/homepage.aspx
