If you are a highly qualified worker with a university degree and an income above the national average, the D3 visa is the solution for you.

The D3 visa and residence permit package gives you the security that you meet the rules for being highly qualified and allows you to stay in Portugal for more than 2 years, renewable for a further 3 years.

If you are a technical worker and have a low-skilled job, the D1 visa is the solution for you.
