Portugal is a member of the EU – European Union
since 1986 (then EEC – European Economic
Community).
It is a southern state in Europe, with its mainland
lying on the extreme southwest of the Iberian
Peninsula, occupying an area of 92.000 kms2.
To the north and east, it has borders with Spain,
to the west and south with the Atlantic Ocean.
There are two Autonomous Regions that make
part of the Portuguese Republic – the archipelagos
of Madeira and the Azores, both situated in the
Atlantic Ocean. The archipelago of Madeira is
basically made of the Madeira and Porto Santo
islands. The archipelago of the Azores is formed
by 9 islands (Santa Maria, São Miguel, Terceira,
Graciosa, São Jorge, Pico, Faial, Flores, Corvo)
and some islets.
Portugal has approximately 10.599 thousand
inhabitants. The capital is Lisbon, with around
2.794 thousand inhabitants in its metropolitan
area. Other important cities are Oporto (the
second largest city, in the north of the country,
in the mouth of river Douro), Braga (in the
Northern region), Aveiro and Coimbra (in the
Centre region), Évora (in the Alentejo), Faro (in
the Algarve), Funchal (in Madeira) and Ponta
Delgada (in the Azores, S. Miguel island).

can be felt with rather hot and prolonged
summers and short winters with little rainfall. In
Madeira, the climate is Mediterranean with mild
temperatures throughout the year. The Azores have
a maritime temperate climate with a high rainfall.

The typical Portuguese is generally reserved and

of Portuguese life.

As a citizen of the European Economic Area
(EEA), you may travel, circulate and work in any
Member State (including Portugal), enjoying the
same rights as the nationals of the country of
your choice.
It will not be easy to find a job in Portugal if you
do not speak enough Portuguese.
Consequently, if you are the citizen of a Member
State, you are entitled to carry out a professional
activity in Portugal, under either an employed or
self-employed regime, without the need to apply
for a work permit1. You will also have the same
rights as Portuguese workers as regards salary,
working conditions, vocational training, social
security and trade union rights.
As a EU/EEA citizen, you may enter and move
freely in Portugal, with no conditions or formalities
other than the need to hold a valid identity card
or a passport. The same applies to your direct
family members, irrespective of their nationality,
as long as they hold one of these documents and
are able to prove their family relationship to you.
However, should you intend to live and/or work
in Portugal for a period longer than 3 months,
you must formalise your right of residence by
applying for a Registration Certificate.
Registration Certificate
EU/EEA Member State nationals
You must register within 30 days from the end
of the first 3 months in the country at the nearest
SEF (Immigration Service) Delegation or at Town
Council (Municipality) in which you live. When
you register you are issued with a Registration
Certificate which is valid for 5 years (or for the
estimated period of residence, if less than 5 years).
A valid identity card or passport is required for
issuing the Registration Certificate, as well as a
declaration under oath that the applicant:
– works under a labour contract or is self-employed in Portugal, or
– has sufficient resources for him/herself and for
his/her family, or
1
Exceptional transitional rules apply to citizens from Romania and
Bulgaria up until end-2008. These citizens are still subject to work
permits for access to the Portuguese labour market in an employed
regime.
– is registered in a public or private education
officially recognised establishment and has
sufficient financial resources for him/herself
and his/her family.
The possession of a health insurance may also
be a pre-requisite for non-workers (if mandatory
for Portuguese citizens in their own country of
origin).
Nationals of an EEA Member State who live
in Portugal as family members must ask the
nearest SEF Delegation or the Town Council
(Municipality) where they live for a Registration
Certificate. Before this can be issued, a valid
identity card or passport, a document in evidence
of the family relationship and the Registration
Certificate of the national of the EEA Member
State they are accompanying or going to join
must be presented.
Residence Card
Family members of a EU/EEA citizen nationals
of a third country
Family members of an EEA Member State citizen
who are nationals of a third State must apply for
a Residence Card at the SEF (Immigration Service)
Central Offices or at the nearest SEF Regional
Office to their area of residence within 30 days
of the end of their first 3 months in Portugal. A
valid passport, a document in evidence of the
family relationship and the Registration Certificate
of the national of the EEA Member State who
they are accompanying or going to join must be
presented before the Residence Card can be
issued.

Before deciding to go to Portugal to find a job,
you should contact the EURES network in your
country, which will provide you with updated
information on the labour market in Portugal.
You can also make your own search at the EURES
Portal (www.eures.europa.eu), where you will
find information on job vacancies, on the labour
market situation and on the living and working
conditions in Portugal (or in any other EU/EEA
country).
If you are already in Portugal, you can look for
a job in:
Job Centres
Internet – Job Exchange Banks
The Public Employment Service (IEFP – Instituto
do Emprego e Formação Profissional, I.P. [Institute
for Employment and Vocational Training]) has a
network of 86 Job Centres (addresses available
at www.iefp.pt). You can register with a Job Centre
and get information on jobs on offer throughout
the country. You must present a valid identity
card or passport to be able to register.
Portuguese employers also advertise their job
vacancies on several websites. The most
commonly used are also made available on the
EURES Portal (www.eures.europa.eu), under
Search for a Job > Related Links > National
Employment Services > Other Employment
Services.
You can also consult job vacancies notified to
IEFP on the Netemprego portal
(www.netemprego.gov.pt).
How to Apply for a Job
Temporary Work Agencies
You can also use temporary work agencies, which
assign their employees to other companies. A
temporary job may lead to a permanent job.
The contact details of temporary work agencies
authorised to carry out this activity are regularly
updated on the IEFP portal (www.iefp.pt >
Emprego > Soluções para entidades > Empresas
de Trabalho Temporário Regulamentadas).
The Press
Portuguese companies make great use of the
national and regional press to advertise their
recruitment needs. The most widely used national
newspapers are: Diário de Notícias, Público,
Jornal de Notícias and Correio da Manhã, which
publish job vacancies in a variety of sectors on
a daily basis. The weekly newspaper Expresso
publishes job vacancies (on Saturday) for
managerial and specialist staff, executives and
consultants in the Emprego (Employment) section.
These newspapers usually also have easy-search
online versions of their “Ads” or “Employment”
sections, similar to job exchange banks.
Application letters, either in response to an
advertisement or when presenting a spontaneous,
unsolicited application, are normally short and
simple. A single A4 page (or a short e-mail) is
enough. The content should be conventional and
a Curriculum Vitae (CV) should be attached.
A Portuguese CV is generally drafted in reverse
chronological order on no more than 2 or 3
pages, including the following items: personal
details (address, phone numbers, e-mail, etc.),
education (highest level of schooling),
vocational training (list of training courses and
on-the-job practical training periods, mention to
Professional Certificates or cards attesting your
membership to a particular professional
association), professional experience, other
skills (language and IT skills, mention to the
driving licence type) and hobbies / leisure
activities (optional). A photo is sometimes
required and valued by the employers.
The Europass CV model (available in
http://europass.cedefop.europa.eu) is also
reasonably well accepted by the Portuguese
employers.
Copies of diplomas and training certificates are
only required later on, during the recruitment
process itself, which takes an average of two
months.

Real Estate Agents Association) or the Associação
Lisbonense de Proprietários (Lisbon Property Owners
Association), or some banks, which also have
databases of houses or flats for sale or to rent.
Because it is rare for an employer to provide
accommodation (although you might get a help
in the search), you should start to look for a place
to live in before you travel to Portugal.
Before signing any contract with a real estate
agent, make sure that it is in fact government
licensed. INCI – Instituto da Construção e do
Imobiliário, I.P. (Construction and Real Estate
Institute) is the responsible body for licensing
and making available an updated online database
on the licensed real estate agents.
Finding a Place to Stay
Internet
In the main university cities some people also
rent rooms (generally furnished) to students.
You can start by looking on the Internet: there
are many sites (some in English) that provide
reasonable coverage of what is available in the
main cities.
Houses / apartments that are to rent / for sale
may have a sign saying aluga-se (to rent) or
vende-se (for sale), with a telephone number for
direct contact and further information. The contact
may be the owner’s or that of a real estate agency.
For short-term accommodation you can always
visit the “Onde dormir” [Where to stay] section
on the Portugal Tourism Official Portal or make
an online reservation in one of the Portuguese
Youth Hostels at the Youth Portal.
Types of Accommodation
Renting
Newspapers
Once you are in Portugal you can look at the
classified ads (”aluga-se” [for rent] or “vende-se”
[for sale]):
Rents vary according to the type and location,
the quality and the number of rooms of the
accommodation. The following is an indication
of the minimum and maximum reference cost
for renting an apartment in Lisbon:
– in the most widely-read national newspapers:
Diário de Notícias, Jornal de Notícias, Correio
da Manhã, Público or the weekly Expresso, for
the main cities;
– T1 flat: minimum ¤250 / maximum ¤900
– in some advertising newspapers, such as Jornal
Ocasião;
The rent generally does not cover water, electricity,
telephone or gas. Most houses or flats for longterm rental are unfurnished, though some may
have wardrobes or fitted kitchens. Central heating
or air-conditioning are still far from being
generalised.
– in the local press if you intend to live in a
smaller city.
You can also find some ads for accommodation
in English, in some Anglo-Portuguese newspapers
and online (e.g. The Portugal News, mostly for
the Algarve region).
You should always check if these ads are genuine
and liable. Ask whether you have to pay to see
the accommodation: if the answer is yes, it is
better not to go. Always look for ads stating
“Mediador Autorizado” [government licensed
Real Estate Agent].
– T2 flat: minimum ¤350 / maximum ¤1.100
Rental agreements usually have a minimum
duration of six months. When the contract is
signed, it is usual to pay an additional month’s
rent in advance as a deposit. This corresponds to
the month’s notice the tenant must give the
landlord of his/her intention to leave.
Although not very common, the landlord may
sometimes require a surety (fiador, a third person
who will be responsible for paying the debts of
the rent run into by the tenant).
Real Estate Agents
You can also use Empresas / Sociedades de
Mediação Imobiliária (Real Estate Agents /
Mediators) or contact certain associations, such
as the APEMIP – Associação Portuguesa de
Empresas de Mediação Imobiliária (Portuguese
Buying
If you are planning to stay for a long period it
may be cheaper and easier to buy rather than to
rent an apartment.
Real estate agents and newspapers are a good
way to find high-quality accommodation.
The purchase price of a 3-bedroom house in the
Lisbon area can vary between ¤150.000 in the
outskirts and ¤600.000 at some of the most
fashionable areas in Lisbon.
A mortgage can be obtained from banks, whose
conditions vary according to the financial terms
of the mortgage, the location of the property and
the bank itself.
The purchase of accommodation is subject to a
tax of almost 10% of the sale price (before you
can buy the property you need a Portuguese
taxpayer’s number and a Taxpayer’s Card – which
you must already have if you pay taxes).
A notary deals with the entire property purchasing
transaction. A contrato promessa de compra e
venda (preliminary contract) is generally signed
before the final contract, escritura (deed of sale).
The purchase of accommodation is still subject
to the payment of IMT – Imposto Municipal Sobre
as Transmissões Onerosas de Imóveis (municipal
tax on the costly transfer of property), based on
the value of the property, its location and local services.
The rate of this tax varies from 0.7% to 1.3%.
Short-Term Accommodation
A network of almost 50 youth hostels and youth
centres may be a more economic alternative
for a short-term stay in Portugal. However, a
membership card (cartão de alberguista) or the
European youth card will be required in order
for you to have access to the bookings. Both of
these cards are valid for a one-year period and
can be obtained at one of the following places:
youth hostels, IPJ (Portuguese Youth Institute)
regional delegations, Movijovem, Ponto Já youth
store or Citizen Stores (Lojas do Cidadão). They
can also be required online.
For a more sophisticated accommodation solution,
the hotel offer is very diversified in the country,
covering reasonably well the whole territory. You
can reach most of the hotel chains by entering
the Portugal Tourism Official Portal.

If the profession you are going to carry out is
not regulated in Portugal, you do not have to
request the recognition of your professional
qualifications. You will carry out your professional
activity under the same conditions as the
Portuguese workers.
Automatic Recognition System
For a limited number of regulated professions,
an automatic recognition system was established,
by means of a series of Sectoral European
Directives, which confers you the right to pursue
that profession in any member state (automatic
recognition) if you are a citizen of one of the
member states and possess one of the relevant
diplomas for that profession’s pursue.
The 7 professions presently covered by this
system are: Doctors – General Practitioners and
Specialists; Nurses – General Health Care;
Dentists; Midwives; Veterinarians; Pharmacists;
and Architects.
Recognition Mechanism
may require that you have relevant professional
experience.
School Equivalence
If you wish to pursue a regulated profession in
Portugal which is not covered by this automatic
recognition system, you should apply for
recognition at the competent authority that will
examine your case individually, making sure that:
Should there be considerable differences in terms
of the professions themselves or of the training
contents, the authority may require that you
undergo a training period or an examination (at
your choice). In any case, only one compensatory
measure may be imposed.
For information on the equivalence request
process of your school diplomas and certificates,
you should contact:
– the regulated profession you wish to carry out
is the profession for which you are fully qualified
in your member state; and
– the duration and content of your training are
not significantly different from the duration and
training content required.
If the professions are the same and the respective
training is similar overall, the competent authority
should recognise your qualifications. In most
cases, if you’re fully qualified in the country of
origin to pursue a specific profession, these
professional qualifications will be recognised as
such in Portugal.
However, if there proves to be substantial
differences between the professions’ functional
contents or between the respective training duration
or contents, a compensatory measure may apply.
Compensatory Measures
Should there be a difference of at least 1 year in
the training duration, the competent authority
In addition, it should, in principle, take into
account the professional experience that may
have been acquired, which may reduce, or even
do away with, the compensatory measure
envisaged.
Special Cases
– If the profession for which you have requested
qualifications recognition is not regulated in
your country, the competent authority may
require that you have at least 2 years of
professional experience;
– If you obtained your diploma in a country not
belonging to the EU/EEA but that diploma has
already been recognised in a member state and
if you carried out that profession in that member
state for 2 or 3 years, it is very likely that your
diploma will be recognised in Portugal.
Recognition Requests
– The Ministry of Education’s DGIDC, or the
basic or secondary school nearest to you in
Portugal, for the basic and secondary education
levels;
– NARIC Portugal, for higher education diplomas.
Translations
In some instances, you will be required to present
a translation into Portuguese of these documents.
This translation should be obtained, at your own
expense, from a notary, a legally recognised
official translator or authenticated by a Portuguese
diplomatic or consular authority in your country.

Types of Labour Contract
Indefinite duration labour contract: no time
limit.
Fixed-term labour contract: duration limited in
time. This type of contract generally lasts for six
months, though they may be shorter (in situations
provided for by law) or longer, up to a maximum
of six years (including renewals).
Labour contract of unspecified duration: lasts
as long as necessary to replace an absent
employee or to complete an activity, project,
work or task the performance of which justifies
the contract.
Part-time labour contract: corresponds to normal
weekly working hours equal to or less than 75%
of the hours worked on a full-time basis in
comparable circumstances.
Telework contract: provision of labour with legal
dependence, usually not on the employer’s
premises, by means of information and
communication technologies.
Labour Contracts
Portuguese law requires fixed-term labour contracts,
contracts of unspecified duration, part-time and
telework contracts to be set down in writing.
This requirement does not apply to indefinite
duration labour contracts.
Special Categories
Portuguese law lays down rules to protect children
and young people. Since the minimum age for
providing work is generally 16, minors under 16
who have completed compulsory schooling may
carry out light work – e.g. very simple, defined
tasks that cannot jeopardise the minor’s physical
integrity, health or physical, mental or moral
development. Working time for children must be
defined so that they can take part in educational
or vocational training programmes.
The disabled whose average capacity to work is
equal to or greater than one third of the normal
capacity to work may benefit from a special
employment scheme that provides personal and
professional development to help them to be
transferred to a regular job. Several benefits for
employers associated to the creation of “Protected
Employment” exist.
Pregnant women or women with children less
than 12 months of age may be exempted from
working overtime outside normal working hours.
Self-Employment
The level of entrepreneurship in Portugal is not
yet very high.
The initiative to set up a company entails a range
of risks that must be assessed and important
decisions that must be taken, including defining
the legal status of the company – with implications
in terms of the entrepreneur’s liability and the
liability of the business.
Although complex, this process has been
developing and certain alternative methods of
setting up a company have recently been
introduced: Empresa Online (possibility of setting
up a company only by resorting to the Internet)
and Empresa na Hora (possibility of setting up a
company in less than one hour by delivering the
requested documentation in one of the Business
Formality Centres).
These simplified forms are not available as yet
for all legal types of company or for the whole
country, however, so the traditional method is
still the most widely used.
It should be noted that the several steps to be
taken to set up a company may be simplified to
a greater or lesser extent according to the legal
status chosen. The legislation regulating the setting
up of companies in some specific areas of activity
must also be borne in mind.
Business Formality Centres (Centros de
Formalidades de Empresas) can help you when
it comes to formalising companies and licensing
requirements.

information and guidelines on the several
alternative procedures for starting your business.

Wages
ACT – Autoridade para as Condições do Trabalho
(Labour Conditions Authority):
www.act.gov.pt
All employees are guaranteed a minimum
monthly remuneration, the national minimum
wage, which is set annually by special legislation.
In 2008 this figure stood at ¤426 and in 2009 it
will reach ¤450.
Monthly, daily and hourly wages are the most
common payment systems. Commission is often
paid for sales work. In addition to monthly wages
there is also a meal allowance, and travel
allowances may also be payable. In the private
sector these allowances are included in multiemployer collective agreements. Overtime and
work on rest days may be compensated by
statutory increases in pay for the work carried
out. In most cases the wages paid by employers
are higher than those provided for in the collective
agreements for sectors of activity.
Employees are also entitled to a Christmas
and a holiday bonus, each one of them equal to
one month's pay (paid respectively in November
/ December and in May / June).
Salaries or wages are usually paid by bank transfer,
though some employers still pay by cheque or
cash. The employee is entitled to a pay slip which
shows the remuneration (gross pay, meal
allowance, etc.) and IRS tax and social security
deductions. The employer is responsible for
transferring the amounts withheld to the social
security and tax authorities.

7. Social Security
Internet or by means of a form or any other writing
procedure at the Social Security District Centre.
Portuguese social security system consists of: the
public social security system, the social action
system and the supplementary protection system.
Once registered, the worker receives a Social
Security Beneficiary’s Card.
The public social security system, granted by the
State, comprises the previdencial, the solidarity
and the family protection schemes.
Contributions
It is the previdencial scheme, contributory-based,
which covers in general all the workers (though
special conditions apply for the independent
workers). It provides financial support to those
workers who lost their income due to one of the
following events: sickness; maternity, paternity
and adoption; unemployment; occupational
diseases; invalidity; old age; and death
(survivorship and supplementary support to
dependants).
In case of independent workers, the compulsory
discounts (compulsory protection scheme) only
cover the risks of maternity, paternity and
adoption, occupational diseases, invalidity, old
age and death (survivorship and supplementary
support to dependants). These workers may,
however, opt for an extended protection scheme,
based on a higher discount rate, including in this
case also support in the event of sickness.
The family protection scheme covers all
the people in general, particularly for increased
family charges in such cases as disability and
dependency (family grant for children and young
people).
The public social security system does not cover
accidents at work. Employers (or, in the case of
independent workers, themselves) are responsible
for the full financing of protection against this
risk. This coverage and a supplementary system
covering occupational diseases are normally
provided by insurance companies hired by
employers. The independent workers must take
out their own policies with insurance companies.
Registration
Employees are entitled to receive benefits only
if they are registered in the public social security
system. You should only register yourself once in
a lifetime.
Employers are required to notify the hiring of
new employees and to register employees who
are not yet registered in the public social security
system.
Every time an employee signs a labour contract,
he/she will also have to notify the social security
of the employer’s name, in 24 hours after the
contract begins to take effect, either through the
Both the employer and the employee registered
in the social security system are required to pay
contributions. The rates generally applied are
23.75% for employers and 11% (deducted at
source from gross pay) for employees.
Independent workers have to pay monthly
contributions at a rate of 25.4% of their declared
income (if covered by the compulsory protection
scheme alone) or 32% (if they choose the
extended protection scheme).
Unemployment Insurance
Involuntary unemployment, in case of an
employee, may provide entitlement to the
following benefits:
– unemployment benefit;
– social unemployment benefit;
– partial unemployment benefit.
People who were employed and are covered by
the previdencial scheme are entitled to
unemployment benefit.
In order to qualify for unemployment benefit you
must register with the nearest Job Centre within
90 days of becoming unemployed. You may
request the benefit either in the act of registration
in the Job Centre or online, in the Social Security
portal – Segurança Social Directa (Social Security
Online).
You are entitled to unemployment benefit if you
completed a period of 450 days’ paid work in
the 24 months preceding the date your
unemployment began.
You are entitled to the initial social unemployment
benefit if, not having reached the minimum
period for unemployment benefit granting, you
completed 180 days’ paid work in the 12 months
preceding the date your unemployment began.
This grant is also subsequently awarded to
unemployed workers when their unemployment
benefit expires.
In both cases, the benefit is only granted to those
whose per capita household income does not
exceed 80% of the national IAS2.
2
Indexante dos Apoios Sociais (Social Supports Index): equal to
¤407.41 in 2008; amount revised every year.
Partial unemployment benefit is granted when
you were receiving unemployment benefit and
begin a part-time job, in which the wage must
not exceed the unemployment benefit you were
receiving and your working time must be between
20% and 75% of normal full-time work.
Benefits duration and amount
Unemployment benefit can be awarded for
between 9 and 38 months, depending on the
employee’s age and on the number of years with
registered earnings (after the last record as a
benefit recipient unemployed).
It corresponds to 65% of the average daily income
received in the previous 12 months, starting from
the second month prior to the one in which you
became unemployed – but it is never less than
the IAS or greater than three times the IAS.
Social unemployment benefit can be awarded
for the same period, except when it follows the
unemployment benefit payment (when it is
reduced by half). It may amount to 80% of the
IAS, for a single worker, or 100%, if the employee
has dependants. This amount will only go up to
the average payment received in the previous six
months.
The payment of partial unemployment benefit
begins when the part-time job starts and ends on
conclusion of the unemployment benefit you were
entitled to initially. It corresponds to the difference
between the unemployment benefit the employee
was receiving plus 35%, and the payment for the
new part-time job.
Unemployment benefit export
If you are receiving an unemployment benefit in
your country and wish to look for a job in Portugal,
you may request that your unemployment benefit
be exported to this country for a maximum period
of 3 months.
Nevertheless, the following rules and procedures
should be observed: to remain available for
employment in the Public Employment Service
of your country for a minimum period of 4 weeks;
to inform the competent Social Security entity in
your country of your intention to look for work
in Portugal, indicating the departure date; and to
register as a jobseeker with the Public Employment
Service in Portugal (IEFP, I.P. in the Mainland;
IRE in Madeira; DRTQP in the Azores) in the 7
days immediately following the departure from
your country.
You should bring with you form E303 which you
may obtain from the competent Social Security
entity in your country.
The Department for International Social Security
Agreements is the link between Portuguese social
security institutions and their foreign counterparts.
It is also responsible for providing foreign
employees in Portugal with information on their
social security rights and obligations.
District Social Security Centres, which make part
of the Instituto de Segurança Social (Social Security
Institute), can also currently provide first-level
information on this issue.

You are entitled to unemployment benefit if you
completed a period of 450 days’ paid work in
the 24 months preceding the date your
unemployment began.
You are entitled to the initial social unemployment
benefit if, not having reached the minimum
period for unemployment benefit granting, you
completed 180 days’ paid work in the 12 months
preceding the date your unemployment began.
This grant is also subsequently awarded to
unemployed workers when their unemployment
benefit expires.
In both cases, the benefit is only granted to those
whose per capita household income does not
exceed 80% of the national IAS2.

Indexante dos Apoios Sociais (Social Supports Index): equal to
¤407.41 in 2008; amount revised every year.
Partial unemployment benefit is granted when
you were receiving unemployment benefit and
begin a part-time job, in which the wage must
not exceed the unemployment benefit you were
receiving and your working time must be between
20% and 75% of normal full-time work.
Benefits duration and amount
Unemployment benefit can be awarded for
between 9 and 38 months, depending on the
employee’s age and on the number of years with
registered earnings (after the last record as a
benefit recipient unemployed).
It corresponds to 65% of the average daily income
received in the previous 12 months, starting from
the second month prior to the one in which you
became unemployed – but it is never less than
the IAS or greater than three times the IAS.
Social unemployment benefit can be awarded
for the same period, except when it follows the
unemployment benefit payment (when it is
reduced by half). It may amount to 80% of the
IAS, for a single worker, or 100%, if the employee
has dependants. This amount will only go up to
the average payment received in the previous six
months.
The payment of partial unemployment benefit
begins when the part-time job starts and ends on
conclusion of the unemployment benefit you were
entitled to initially. It corresponds to the difference
between the unemployment benefit the employee
was receiving plus 35%, and the payment for the
new part-time job.
Unemployment benefit export
If you are receiving an unemployment benefit in
your country and wish to look for a job in Portugal,
you may request that your unemployment benefit
be exported to this country for a maximum period
of 3 months.
Nevertheless, the following rules and procedures
should be observed: to remain available for
employment in the Public Employment Service
of your country for a minimum period of 4 weeks;
to inform the competent Social Security entity in
your country of your intention to look for work
in Portugal, indicating the departure date; and to
register as a jobseeker with the Public Employment
Service in Portugal (IEFP, I.P. in the Mainland;
IRE in Madeira; DRTQP in the Azores) in the 7
days immediately following the departure from
your country.
You should bring with you form E303 which you
may obtain from the competent Social Security
entity in your country.
The Department for International Social Security
Agreements is the link between Portuguese social
security institutions and their foreign counterparts.
It is also responsible for providing foreign
employees in Portugal with information on their
social security rights and obligations.
District Social Security Centres, which make part
of the Instituto de Segurança Social (Social Security
Institute), can also currently provide first-level
information on this issue.
