Job Seeker Visa Portugal 2023

A “Job Seeker Visa” for Portugal allows individuals to stay and search for employment in the country for a specified period of time, usually 4 months. The visa is designed for highly skilled individuals who have the intention to work in Portugal but are not yet able to secure a job offer.

With this visa, individuals can travel to Portugal, look for work, attend job interviews, and participate in career fairs and other recruitment events. The process of obtaining a job seeker visa involves submitting an application to the Portuguese embassy or consulate in your home country, along with the required documents and fees. If granted, the visa will allow you to enter Portugal and start your job search.
