Overview

A done-for-you application for one of three Portuguese routes — the Tech Visa (for qualified professionals hired by a certified Portuguese tech company), the Startup Visa (for founders backed by a certified incubator) or the Job-Seeker Visa. Note: as of our last check, the Job-Seeker Visa (Art. 57.º-A) is not yet available at consular posts, pending its implementing regulation — we confirm current availability with you before starting that route. We handle the eligibility check, document collection and review, appointment booking and submission support. This is a facilitation service, and approval is never guaranteed.

  • Job-seekers who want to enter Portugal legally to look for work — the Job-Seeker Visa, subject to the route being open
  • Qualified professionals with an offer from a certified tech employer — the Tech Visa
  • Founders building an innovative startup with incubator backing — the Startup Visa
  • Applicants who want the route chosen correctly and the file prepared properly

Frequently Asked Questions

The Tech Visa suits professionals hired by a certified tech company and the Startup Visa suits founders with incubator backing — both are open now. The Job-Seeker Visa is intended for those coming to look for work, but as of our last check it is not yet available at consular posts, pending the regulation of Art. 57.º-A; our eligibility check confirms the best fit and current availability for your case.

No. This is a facilitation service — we prepare and submit a strong application, but the decision rests with the Portuguese authorities and, for the Tech and Startup routes, the accredited bodies.

Government and VFS fees are not included, and for the Startup Visa the incubator endorsement fees are separate. Prices also exclude IVA.
