Work-Seeker Visa (Visto para Procura de Trabalho) introduced

A new residence visa for the purpose of job search was created under the 2022 Lei dos Estrangeiros revision, allowing non-EU nationals to enter Portugal for up to 120 days (extendable once by 60 days) to look for work. Holders who sign an employment contract during the stay can then convert directly to a work residence permit without leaving the country.
