Portugal introduces visa for job seekers

On 15 June 2022, the Portuguese government approved the launch of a new visa for foreign nationals seeking employment in the country. The new program allows foreigners a six-month stay in Portugal, which period can be extended for another 60 days. The immigration quota has also been waived.

“In the promotion of safe, orderly and regulated migration and in the fight against labour shortages, a new type of visa has been created, specifically the visa for the search of work, thus enabling entry into Portugal for nationals of foreign states who come to look for work for a period of 120 days, extendable for a further 60 days, for a total of 180 days,” said Deputy Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Ana Catarina Mendes at the press conference after the Cabinet meeting.
