What is TECH VISA?
After being announced in the Web Summit 2018, Tech Visa came into force on the 1st of January 2019 with the view of simplifying the process of hiring highly qualified foreign individuals applying for jobs in Portuguese companies in the technological and innovative field. Companies are now able to apply for a certificate with the IAPMEI, requesting the grant of a residence visa or permit to the highly qualified foreigners the company intends to employ.
Like Startup Visa, the Tech Visa is one of the national measures introduced to boost entrepreneurship in Portugal by increasing the level of experts in the technological and innovative field.
