Questões? não hesite em contactar-nos: workinportugal@iefp.pt 

Please bear in mind that, while you may participate, contact employers and apply for jobs during this event, you are still subject to immigration rules and procedures if you want to move to Portugal – and you’re not as a rule entitled to EURES mobility schemes (restricted to EU, Norway and Iceland citizens). 

Find out more about: 

• work visas for Portugal,
• residence permits in Portugal,
• assistance services to non-EU/EEA nationals,
• the basic EU labour market accessing principles for different non-EU country nationals,
• the EU Immigration Portal.

But if you are already living in Portugal, you're very welcome to apply to jobs in this event.

Special conditions apply (such as a Temporary Protection Status) if you are a Ukrainian citizen currently fleeing from the war. Please check further info here...

If you have lived for over 5 years in one of these Member States and hold a long-term resident status, you have equal treatment in that Member State to country and EU nationals, with regard to access to employment and self-employment, education and vocational training and tax benefits, for example.

In this particular case, you may be entitled to moving to another country for work. Please bear in mind, however, that this is not granted automatically, as it is subject to meeting certain conditions, namely related to labour market situation, which are defined by each Member State. As a rule, you will have to apply for and be granted a residence permit in that country before you are entitled to work there.

Still having doubts?
