Common questions.
Do I need a job offer first?
Yes. The D3 requires an employment contract or a binding job offer from a Portuguese employer, matched to recognised qualifications.
Is the visa tied to my employer?
Yes — the D3 is linked to the role and employer. The initial permit runs 1–2 years and is renewable; after 5 years you can seek permanent residency.
What documents prove my qualifications?
Apostilled and translated diplomas or certificates, plus a Portuguese Social Security number (NISS). We coordinate the recognition and translation for you.
