Your future is in Portugal - Tech Visa

April 4, 2019

WHAT IS TECH VISA AND WHAT ARE ITS BENEFITS?

Tech Visa is a program for the certification of companies in technology and innovation aiming to attract highly qualified and skilled professionals from outside the European Union, to work in Portugal by granting visas and residence permits from SEF. This incentive to competitiveness extends to third-country nationals and aims to facilitate the hiring of highly qualified profiles for Portugal in a much simpler way, as it will also allow shorter waiting periods for the regularization of visas.

WHICH ARE THE OBJECTIVES FOR PROFESSIONALS AND FOR COMPANIES?

Professionals from countries outside the European Union are granted greater simplicity in accessing the creation of technological jobs in Portugal, and the contracting period will be shorter, enhanced by the quickness in obtaining visas. Sysmatch is a Technology Consultant already certified by IAPMEI, having as an advantage in this global market context the possibility of a more efficient procedure in recruiting skilled talent outside the European Union, thus bridging the existing gap of profiles in this area.
