Article 15 Residence Card?

[jackinthebox]

Hi,

My partner received an Article 15 residence card in Portugal. He's Brazilian. We've lived in Portugal for the past year. I haven't heard of one of these before. They told us they don't give out Article 10 residence cards. We were hoping for an Article 10, just to make it easier in terms of travelling to the UK (where I'm from). There wouldn't be the necessity of applying for an EEA family permit if we get restless living here or if we want to go to the UK for a holiday.

These are all I could find:

Has anybody else heard of a residence card issued under article 15? Or being told that the country you live in doesn't give Article 10 Residence Cards?

P.S. It does say "Family Member Of A Union Citizen" on the front of it.
