Portugal Job Seeker Visa
Details
This visa is granted for a period of 120 days, renewable for another 60 days and allows only one entry into Portugal.
The issuance of this visa supposes the attribution of a date of scheduling in the competent services, within the period of validity of 120 days of the visa, and it allows the applicant, after the formalization of the employment contract throughout that period, the right to apply for a residence permit. To do so, applicant must fulfil the general conditions for granting a temporary residence permit, under the terms of article 77 of the Law.
The request for a visa extension by a job seeker visa holder must be accompanied by proof of registration with the IEFP, I.P., and a declaration by the applicant indicating that the conditions of the planned stay are maintained, which will be assessed considering the reasons that justified its issuance.
Once the maximum validity limit of the visa for looking for work has expired, without an employment relationship having been established nor the process of requesting the granting of a residence permit having begun, the visa holder must leave the country. In these situations, you can only re-apply for a new visa application for this purpose, one year after the expiry of the previous visa's validity.
