Everything you need to know about Portugal's Work visa
Why Portugal's D1 Work Visa?
The Portuguese D1 Visa, also known as the Subordinate Work Visa, is designed for non-EU/EEA/Swiss nationals who have secured employment with a Portuguese company. This visa provides a direct pathway to EU residency through employment.
Portugal's growing economy offers excellent opportunities across tech, finance, tourism, and renewable energy sectors. With strong worker protections, universal healthcare, and competitive salaries, it's an ideal destination for career advancement.
Perfect for professionals seeking EU residency, better work-life balance, and access to Europe's single market while building a career in one of Europe's most welcoming countries.
Key Requirements
The D1 Work Visa Is Not For You If:
Make sure this visa matches your situation before applying
The D1 visa requires a signed employment contract with a Portuguese company before application. For job seekers, consider the separate Job Seeker visa first.
If you're working remotely for non-Portuguese companies, the D8 Digital Nomad visa would be more appropriate than the D1.
For entrepreneurship or self-employment, the D2 Entrepreneur visa is the correct pathway, not the D1 employment visa.
Your education and experience must match the job requirements. Regulated professions require specific licenses and certifications.
