Portugal Job Seeker Visa
Job Seeker Guidance by Shafaq International — Visa decisions are made solely by the Embassy

Portugal's Job Seeker Visa allows non-EU nationals to stay in Portugal for up to 120 days to look for employment or set up a business. Portugal is one of the most welcoming EU countries for immigrants with a lower cost of living, warm climate, and a growing tech and tourism sector. It is also a pathway to EU residence.
