DP Visa – Job Seeker

DP Visa PORTUGAL

JOB SEEKER VISA 

The job seeker visa entitles its holder to enter and remain only in Portugal for the purpose of looking for a job and authorizes him/her to carry out a subordinated work activity until the visa expires or until the residence permit is granted.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 implies 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, the 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.
