Return flight

Question

Hello everyone,

I have a question about returning to Portugal, and I hope someone can help me.

I currently have a D3 visa, valid until the end of may. It says on the visa that I have the right to 2 entries. I used the first one when I first came to Portugal.

I want to use the second one to travel outside the Schengen area and come back through Barcelona on the 11th of May. Will I have problems at re-entry? Will I be questioned about how long I intend to stay in Portugal ?

I have an AIMA appointment in July. I work and are currently renting in Portugal. So, I clearly intend to stay in Portugal beyond the validity of my visa. Should I not mention that at the passport check in Spain?

PS: I also have a Schengen work visa from France valid until mid June.
