Service Details

Convert Student Visa to Working Visa

This service is available across Portugal

Who Is This Service For?

A popular option for those who wish to remain in Portugal when their student visa has expired is to make an application to convert their student visa to a visa that enables them to reside and work here.
This service is designed for international students in Portugal who have completed their studies and wish to transition into the workforce within the country.
It caters to graduates who aim to leverage their newly acquired skills in a Portuguese work environment, navigating the complexities of visa conversion with expert guidance.

Prerequisites

Applicants must possess a valid student visa, a job offer from a Portuguese employer, or evidence of self-employment opportunities. Documentation proving qualifications and financial sustainability is also required.
The application must be made within 30 days of the expiry of the term of your student visa.
An interesting alternative, for those who have completed a high level of studies (Masters/PHD level) would be to apply for a one-year visa to search for employment.
You will need medical insurance and proof of your ability to support yourself economically for the duration of the visa.
While you are not permitted to work with this type of visa, upon finding suitable work, you may convert the visa to a residency and work visa (as mentioned above).
