Hello,

Is there a time limit or an expiration on a Job Seeker Visa from the time the visa is issued to when you enter Portugal?

Thanks!

The Portugal Job Seeker Visa is granted for an initial period of 120 days. This period is the total amount of time you are allowed to stay in Portugal to look for a job.

Thanks Johnny. I know the amount of time I am allowed once I get into Portugal. How much time do I have from the time the visa is issued to get to portugal?

The 120 days begin when the visa is issued and end when the visa expires. During these 120 days, you must find a job in Portugal and request an appointment at AIMA to be granted a residence permit. It can be renewable for another 60 days and allows only one entry into Portugal.
