How can I sponsor my son in law to work in Portugal?

I need assistance on how to get my future son-in-law, who's a non-EU, to live and work in Portugal. While he is on a holiday Visa.

    According to Portuguese law, it's not possible to apply for family reunification for a son-in-law, as this family relationship is not covered under the current legal framework. However, it's possible to be legally responsible for your son-in-law, whether you are a resident in Portugal or a Portuguese citizen.
