With effect from 4 June 2024, the hiring of foreign workers can only be carried out after the worker presents a document proving the legality of their stay in Portuguese territory.
The supporting document may include:
- Residence permit;
- Work visa;
- Proof of delivery of the residence permit process, which is in progress at AIMA (started before 03/06/2024).
With this change to the legal regime, it is no longer possible to use the procedure for regularizing the stay in national territory through expression of interest, which, until now, served as an alternative to obtaining a work visa.
It is important to remember that it is the employer’s responsibility to ensure that their employees are properly legalized
