If you are a third-country citizen and intend to enter and stay in Portugal to look for a job, you must express interest in enrolling in the Institute of Employment and Vocational Training (IEFP), the Portuguese Public Employment Service, before submitting your Job Search Visa application.
To make the expression of interest declaration for registration with the IEFP, you must fill in the following form:
https://formularios.iefp.pt/index.php/929227?lang=en
After submitting the form you receive the declaration (by email) and you can apply for the Job Search Visa, “online” and/or from the nearest Portuguese consulate, upon prior appointment.
The visa is granted for 120 days and may be extended for another 60 days if you provide proof that you are enrolled in the IEFP as a jobseeker. Register in the nearest job service.
Within the maximum validity of the Job Search Visa without having established an employment relationship, the citizen must leave the country and can only apply for a new visa for this purpose, one year after the expiry of the previous visa.
