Many people don't know it, but there is a work visa for Portugal specifically for highly qualified professionals, called D3 Visa.
Unlike the ordinary Work Visa - whose requirements make it practically impossible to grant it, the D3 Visa has been increasingly requested and granted by Consulates, becoming a concrete alternative for qualified professionals who wish to leverage their international career in Portugal.
In order to attract highly qualified professionals to the country, who already have a promise or a work contract in sight with Phone Number List national companies, Portuguese legislation provides for a special visa, called D3 Visa.
This visa allows the holder and his/her family to enter the Portuguese territory for work purposes and to establish residence for all. After this visa expires it is possible not only to apply for a Residence Permit for Portugal, but also the European Union (EU) Blue Card - which is the Residence Permit for highly qualified professionals with European scope.
The Foreigners' Law defines a highly qualified activity as one whose exercise requires specialized technical skills of an exceptional nature or an adequate qualification for the exercise of the function.
More specifically, the European Commission considers that the highly qualified activity is that exercised by professionals falling into either of the two lower groups.
Management positions: as executives, officers and legislators; senior public administration officers, directors; administrative and commercial managers; service and similar managers; company directors;
Experts in intellectual and scientific activities: such as engineers and scientists, health professionals, teachers, business and management professionals, information and communication technology professionals, cultural professionals and legal experts.
What does it take to qualify for a D3 visa? To apply for the D3 Visa at the Portuguese Embassy or Consulate, the applicant must already have an employment contract, or a promise of an employment contract, and must also fulfill the following specific requirements.
That the activity to be developed be framed as a highly qualified activity and that the professional proves adequate qualification or experience for its exercise; That the contract is for an indefinite period or at least for one year; That the expected salary corresponds to an annual salary of at least 1.5 times the national average gross annual salary or three times the social support index (IAS)*. However, for employment in professions considered to be particularly needy by third-country nationals, 1.2 times the national average gross wage or twice the IAS value is required.
