Minors, trafficking victims, humanitarian situations, Article 122 cases and other exceptional situations should not be forced into a work/study checklist.
AIMA provides a specific residence permit for trafficking/illegal-immigration-assistance victims, initiated following communication by investigating authorities.
Children born in Portugal to residence-permit holders have a specific Article 122(1)(a) route with its own time limit and evidence.
Different special circumstances are handled under different paragraphs; the correct one depends on the facts.
Where there is no clear fit, use AIMA/CLAIM and, where appropriate, legal support rather than assuming an article applies.
