Six months on Portuguese soil means more time for interviews, networking events, and building connections with local recruiters and expat groups.
While your primary purpose is job-hunting in Portugal, you can travel across all Schengen countries for short trips—ideal for broadening your opportunities.
Once you land a job offer, you can convert your job-seeker visa into a work permit without leaving Portugal, minimizing downtime between visas.
• Start early: apply at least 60 days before arrival. • Prepare proof of funds for six months. • Engage local job platforms like Net-Empregos and LinkedIn Portugal.
