How to Apply for Jobs in Portugal — Step by Step (كيفية التقدم للعمل في البرتغال — خطوة بخطوة)

Whether you are applying from Portugal or from your home country, here is the practical process for Arabic speakers and Gulf nationals:

Step 1 — Get your NIF (Tax Number) (الخطوة الأولى — الحصول على الرقم الضريبي NIF)

A Portuguese NIF is normally needed for tax, employment and banking procedures. Some candidates arrange it before arrival, while others complete the process after entering Portugal, depending on their legal status and support available.

The process and required documents can vary for non-EU citizens, especially when a fiscal representative is needed.

Step 2 — Open a Portuguese Bank Account (IBAN) (الخطوة الثانية — فتح حساب بنكي في البرتغال)

You need a Portuguese IBAN to receive your salary. Most Portuguese banks accept non-EU nationals with a valid passport and NIF. Millennium BCP and Caixa Geral de Depósitos are the most accessible for new arrivals. Wise (formerly TransferWise) is a popular alternative for receiving and sending money internationally.

Step 3 — Work Visa for Non-EU Nationals (الخطوة الثالثة — تأشيرة العمل للمواطنين من خارج الاتحاد الأوروبي)

Citizens of Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Morocco, Egypt and other non-EU countries need a work visa to work legally in Portugal.

D1 Work Visa — Most non-EU citizens need to apply for a residence visa before travelling to Portugal. A confirmed employment contract or formal job offer is commonly required for work-related visa routes.

Processing times and required documents can vary by consulate, country of residence and individual case. Always confirm the latest requirements through the Portuguese consulate and AIMA before making travel or housing commitments.

Documents typically required:

• Valid passport (minimum 6 months validity)
• Job offer letter from Portuguese employer
• Criminal record certificate
• Medical certificate
• Proof of accommodation in Portugal
• NIF number

Important: A job offer does not automatically guarantee a visa or residence permit. Non-EU candidates should confirm the process with official Portuguese authorities before paying fees, booking travel or resigning from a current job.

Portugal’s national minimum wage in 2026 is €920 per month gross, set by Decreto-Lei n.º 139/2025. Salaries are paid 14 times a year, so the gross annual minimum is €920 × 14 = €12,880.

Many employers in manual sectors also provide shared accommodation, meals or a meal allowance, transport to and from work, and access to the public health service (SNS) after registration.

How to Avoid Fake Job Offers in Portugal

Finding a job in Portugal can be a good opportunity, but Arabic-speaking and non-EU candidates should be careful with fake job offers, false visa promises and recruiters who ask for money before providing a real contract.

Jobs in Portugal is not affiliated with Arabinfo24 or UAEinfo24. Always verify the employer and the application process before sharing documents, paying fees or making travel plans.

Check the employer before applying

A legitimate employer should have a company website, official email address, physical location and clear job description. Search for the company name online and check whether the same vacancy appears on its official careers page.

Be cautious if a recruiter only contacts you through WhatsApp, Telegram or a personal email address.

Never pay for a job offer

You should not pay money to secure a job, receive a work contract or “guarantee” a visa. Be especially careful with requests for payment for:

• visa approval;
• job placement;
• work permit processing;
• accommodation booking;
• medical certificates;
• recruitment registration.

Some legitimate services may have administrative fees, but these should be transparent, documented and independently verifiable.

Ask for a written job offer

Before accepting a job, ask for written details about:

• employer name and address;
• job title and duties;
• gross monthly salary;
• working hours and shifts;
• contract type;
• accommodation, if offered;
• transport, meals and deductions;
• start date;
• legal right to work requirements.

Do not rely only on voice messages, screenshots or informal promises.

Be careful with visa sponsorship claims

A job offer does not automatically guarantee a Portuguese visa or residence permit. Some employers may support non-EU candidates, but visa sponsorship is not guaranteed.

Watch for unrealistic salaries

Be cautious when a job advert promises very high salaries for entry-level work, especially in packing, cleaning, agriculture, hospitality or construction.

Pay in Portugal depends on the role, location, experience, shifts, overtime and contract. Compare any offer with realistic jobs and salary guidance in Portugal before accepting it.

Protect your documents

Do not send your passport, bank details, residence documents or personal photos until you have verified the employer or recruitment agency. A genuine employer may need documents later in the hiring process, but you should know exactly who is receiving them and why.

Quick warning signs

Treat the offer carefully if the recruiter:

• promises a guaranteed visa;
• asks for money before an interview or contract;
• offers a salary far above the normal market rate;
• refuses to provide the company name;
• pressures you to decide immediately;
• communicates only through WhatsApp or Telegram;
• asks for passport scans before explaining the job;
• says Portuguese law does not apply to the job.
