Procedure de demande

  • Job offer & employment contract — Employer via Employer (Portuguese company): The Portuguese employer recruits the third-country national and signs a written employment contract (or binding job/work promise) compliant with Portuguese labour law, which is the basis for the residence visa under Art. 88(1) of Law no. 23/2007.
  • Vacancy advertising / labour formalities — Employer via Instituto do Emprego e Formação Profissional (IEFP, I.P.): The employer registers and advertises the vacancy and completes the labour-market formalities so the post can be filled by a third-country national where the law requires it.
  • Residence visa application abroad — Worker via Portuguese consulate / embassy (Ministério dos Negócios Estrangeiros): The worker applies in person at the competent Portuguese consulate for a national residence visa for subordinate employed work (Art. 88), submitting the employment contract, proof of means of subsistence, criminal record and the prescribed instructory documents. (Decision within 60 days (Art. 58, Law no. 23/2007) · Not published in a verified official source — verify with the Portuguese consulate / vistos.mne.gov.pt)
  • Entry to Portugal — Worker via Agência para a Integração, Migrações e Asilo (AIMA, I.P.): With the issued residence visa the worker travels to Portugal within its validity to complete the residence-permit procedure with AIMA.
  • Residence permit application & biometrics — Worker via Agência para a Integração, Migrações e Asilo (AIMA, I.P.): The worker submits the residence-permit application via the AIMA digital platform and attends an appointment to provide biometric data and supporting documents for the Art. 88(1) residence permit.

  • Decision & issuance of residence card — Authority via Agência para a Integração, Migrações e Asilo (AIMA, I.P.): AIMA assesses the application and, if approved, grants the temporary residence permit and issues the residence card (título de residência) authorising the worker to live and work in Portugal.
