Overview
If you wish to visit third country other than any of the Schengen States transiting through Portugal or a member state (Lithuania, Czech Republic, Greece, Slovakia, Estonia) for a short period of time, you must obtain an short stay visa (transit) prior to entry at any of the Portugal or member state’s International Airports, if you come from a country with a visa requirement for entering Schengen.
The issue of Schengen visas is discretionary and depends on examination of each individual case, including purpose of visit and intention to return. The short-stay visa does not automatically entitle you to enter the Schengen area. At border (or during other controls) you may have to show the visa but also provide additional documentation, for example information on that you have sufficient means to cover the stay and the return trip. It is therefore recommended that you carry with you copies of the documents which you presented when applying for the visa (e.g.letters of invitation, travel confirmations, other documents stating the purpose of your stay).

TO APPLY THE VISA APPLICATION MUST BE MADE WITH AT LEAST 30 WORKING DAYS BEFORE THE PLAN DATE FOR THE TRAVEL, IN THIS CASE OF THE VISAS OF TEMPORARY STAY, AND OF 60 DAYS FOR RESIDENCE VISA. THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS EXPECTED TO THESE TERMS IN ACCORDANCE WITH CURRENT LEGISLATION.
List of documents to be submitted by visa applicants in Maputo:
The job seeker visa entitles its holder to enter and remain only in Portugal for the purpose of looking for job; authorizes him/her to carry out a subordinated work activity, until the visa expires or until the residence permit is granted.
This visa is granted for a period of 120 days, renewable for another 60 days and allows only one entry into Portugal.
The issuance of this visa supposes the attribution of a date of scheduling in the competent services, within the period of validity of 120 days of the visa, and it allows the applicant, after the formalization of the employment contract throughout that period, the right to apply for a residence permit. To do so, you must fulfil the general conditions for granting a temporary residence permit, under the terms of article 77 of the Law.
Once the maximum validity limit of the visa for looking for work has expired, without an employment relationship having been established nor the process of requesting the granting of a residence permit having begun, the visa holder must leave the country.
In these situations, you can only re-apply for a new visa application for this purpose, one year after the expiry of the previous visa's validity.
The request for a visa extension by a job seeker visa holder must be accompanied by proof of registration with the IEFP, I.P., and a declaration by the applicant indicating that the conditions of the planned stay are maintained, which will be assessed considering the reasons that justified its issuance.
Required DOCUMENTATION
- National Visa application filled and duly signed by applicant;
- Passport or other travel document, valid for 3 months after the estimated date of return. Photocopy of passport (biographical data);
- 2 Photos, even, passport type, recent and in good condition to identify the applicant (1 for this form);

- Valid travel insurance, covering necessary medical expenses, including urgent medical assistance and possible repatriation;
- Transport document - Roundtrip flight reservation showing date of departure and date of return;
- Proof of financial resources equivalent to at least the sum of three guaranteed monthly minimum salary.
Proof of the financial resources may be waived upon presentation of a term of responsibility with recognized signature made by a Portuguese citizen or a foreign citizen, with a legal residence authorization in Portugal, which guarantees food and accommodation for the visa applicant, as well as the repatriation costs, in case of irregular stay.
The signatory of the responsibility term must also prove to have financial capacity in the amount of, at least, three times the value of the guaranteed minimum monthly salary (€705).
SPECIFIC DOCUMENTS
- Declaration with indication of the conditions for the estimated stay.
- Proof of presentation of a declaration of expression of interest for enrolment in the IEFP (EN)/ (PT) / (FR) / (ES).
