How Can You Maximize Your Job-Seeking Opportunities in the Schengen Area Under the New Rules?

ETIAS authorization lets you travel freely between 27 countries. Use it to attend interviews and network across borders without needing multiple visas. 

Leverage ETIAS for Mobility

Portugal’s 180-day visa and Germany’s job-search permit (six months) let you settle in one country while exploring regional job markets.

Targeted Job-Seeker Visas

Attend virtual and in-person job fairs in hubs like Berlin and Amsterdam. Join LinkedIn groups and local professional associations to connect before you arrive.

Networking Strategies

Once you land a job, convert your job-seeker visa into a work permit without exiting the Schengen Area—a major time and cost saver.
