Beneficiaries of international protection are guaranteed freedom of movement throughout the national territory under the same conditions provided for foreign nationals legally residing in Portugal.[1] CPR is not aware of any limitations in this regard in practice, with the exception of those possibly arising from the dispersal policy implemented by the SOG that may result in limitations for reasons of access to material support (see Reception Conditions: Freedom of Movement).
