A New Opportunity For Those Who Want To Work In Portugal. New Partnership Between Companies In SP, PE And RJ Promises To Place Brazilians In Portugal.
A new partnership may assist Brazilian professionals who are seeking opportunities to work in Portugal. Move, a Portuguese legaltech that operates in professional mobility, has partnered with three recruitment consulting firms in Brazil, namely Somos Hub, in São Paulo, Grow Group, in Pernambuco, and HUNTINTI, in Rio de Janeiro.
Portugal Has 45 Thousand Job Opportunities
According to Move’s CEO, Renato Martins, the union aims to solve a major problem in Portugal. Currently, in Portugal, due to the summer, there are 45 thousand job opportunities in the tourism sector, according to the Hospitality Association of Portugal (AHP).
Martins states that Lisbon alone receives 5 times more tourists than all of Brazil combined. It is a very large flow of tourism and companies cannot hire. There are restaurants closed in the Algarve because they do not have labor. And this happens every summer. The idea of the partnership, which will place Brazilians in Portugal, is to recruit professionals and facilitate the legal process. To achieve this, the selection process will be divided into two stages.
-
Airfare prices may rise with increasing fuel costs, and the government is considering urgent measures to avoid a direct impact on the wallets of Brazilians.
-
Chocolate prices soar nearly 15% and become a luxury item for Easter 2026, with increases surpassing inflation and changes in Brazilian consumption habits.
-
The Federal Revenue issues a good alert for Brazilian taxpayers: 60.9% are already using the pre-filled tax return, automatic refunds via Pix reach millions, and the government plans for a fully automated income tax in the coming years.
-
India announces a plan of $3.06 billion to bring aviation to forgotten regions: 100 new airports, $1.07 billion in subsidies, and regional routes guaranteed for 10 years, from 2026 to 2036, away from the centers.
The first stage begins with Brazilian recruiters analyzing profiles according to the positions that Portuguese companies are opening. The professional who is approved in the selection process by the Portuguese company will move on to the second stage.
In this second stage, Move will take care of all the legal procedures to facilitate mobility, such as residence authorization and visa. Martins claims that it is a collaborative effort. The focus of the agendas is to place Brazilians in Portugal according to the labor shortage in the country. These recruiters have the mission of understanding local markets and how these professionals seek these opportunities.
Reasons That Attract Brazilians To Work In Portugal
There are three reasons that attract Brazilians to Portugal, which are safety, language, and quality of life. According to Move’s CEO, Portugal consistently ranks among the safest countries in the world. In the 2023 ranking, it is positioned in 7th place. The executive notes that, although it is not a country where one will have the most chances of accumulating wealth, it is a place that promotes quality of life and ensures rights such as quality health and education.
Europe, in general, has a lifestyle that balances cultural, work, and family life. People from Generation Z and Y are already seeking this new way of living. There is a balance between work and life, and in Portugal, the healthcare and education systems are very efficient.
The biggest challenges for those who want to work in Portugal, according to Martins, are bureaucracies, such as processing visas and residence permits. Many times, the Portuguese company needs a talent in 15 days, and the bureaucracy does not allow this talent to be in Portugal within that time. This partnership with Brazilian recruiters will help in this process.
Main Visas To Work In Portugal
The main visas provide opportunities for foreign citizens to reside, work, or study, and in Portugal, there are six possibilities:
- Job-seeking visa (art 57-A);
- Independent professional activity visa (art 60);
- Study/internship/volunteering visa (art 62);
- Digital Nomad visa (art 61-B);
- Highly qualified professional visa (art 61 and 61-A);
- Subordinate professional activity visa (art 59).
The demand from Brazilians seeking residence visas in Portugal has been expanding significantly in recent years, and according to Martins, immigration policies are becoming increasingly inviting.
