Finding employers that actually sponsor

Landing a role abroad starts with finding employers who sponsor work visas, then applying to enough of them, consistently, before the listings close.

For roles in Portugal, we prioritise employers with a record of sponsoring international hires, tailor your CV to sponsorship-eligible roles, and apply to the ones you approve. Sponsorship is always the employer's decision; we do not issue visas or guarantee sponsorship.

Sponsor-aware sourcing

Roles from employers known to sponsor are prioritised and flagged.

Applied before they close

Sponsored roles fill fast, so fresh postings go to the top of your list.

Honest framing

We say clearly what we can and cannot influence.

Working in Portugal from abroad

How work permits shape which roles in Portugal we send you

EU and EEA citizens, and Swiss citizens, can work in Portugal without a permit. Most other candidates need a work visa applied for after a job offer, or the EU Blue Card for qualifying roles. In every case the employer has to take part, so the question is which employers in Portugal are willing to.

Being willing is a matter of record: employers that have hired from abroad before say so in their adverts, in their careers pages and in how they answer. Rules, salary thresholds and processing times change, so check the official immigration site in Portugal before relying on a figure.

Employers that hire from abroad

Roles from employers in Portugal that have taken on international hires go to the top of your list.

Adverts that rule it out

Roles that ask for an existing right to work are left off your list.

Your status stated clearly

Each application says where you are, what permission you have and when you could start.

What we cannot do

We do not apply for permits or give immigration advice. The permit depends on the employer, the role and your own circumstances.

How it works

You approve. We apply. Every week.

Can you get me a work permit for Portugal?

No. The employer applies for or supports the permit, and the authorities decide. We put your applications in front of employers in Portugal that have hired from abroad before.

Do you apply to roles in Portugal that require an existing right to work?

Not if you need a permit. Those roles are left off your weekly list.

Can you guarantee sponsorship?

No. Sponsorship is the employer's decision. We improve your odds by targeting genuine sponsoring employers and applying consistently.

Do I need Portuguese?

Not for many tech and international roles. We filter out roles that require Portuguese unless you speak it.
