🇵🇹 PORTUGAL’S JOB SEEKER VISA: DOES IT STILL EXIST? 🔎
The job seeker visa, as many Brazilians previously knew it, ceased to exist under Law No. 61/2025, which came into force on 23 October 2025. ⚖️📄
The law now provides only for a Skilled Job Seeker Visa.
However, the eligibility criteria — including which professions qualify — depend on implementing regulations that have not yet been published.
⏳ Until those regulations are in place, Portuguese consular offices are not accepting applications under this visa category.
But waiting may not be your only option. 💡
Depending on your professional background, qualifications and personal circumstances, another immigration route may be available for your specific situation.
