COUNTRIES CURRENTLY SHOWN
A destination can only be explored after the route and profile are reviewed.CURRENT ROUTE FOCUS
These are the routes currently being discussed. Your profile, employer information and availability must be reviewed individually.
Portugal
Agricultural work, product packing and logistics duties may be discussed. Some practical support tasks can be part of the final employer assignment.
Poland
Production Line Worker and Warehouse Operations Worker are the roles currently being discussed for this route.
Industrial Electrician is currently on hold for verification.
These are current route discussions, not confirmation of a vacancy, employment, work permit, visa or outcome. Final availability and requirements are decided by employers and relevant authorities.
Talk about a current routeCOUNTRY-BY-COUNTRY LEGAL PATH
A job title is only one part of a safe route. Here you can compare the visa basis, residence step, employment registration, work conditions and employer-change rules that matter.
Current rules checked against public authority guidance.
Employer or route details that still depend on your final documents.
Your own visa, permit, contract and employer documents always control.
Official rules and programme information are separated below. Appointment timing, employer assignment and contract terms must be confirmed for each applicant.
For long-term employed work, the official route is a residence visa for subordinate employment, commonly called D1. It is based on a work contract or promise of contract and normally allows four months in Portugal to apply for a residence permit. The visa does not itself guarantee a residence card.
After entry, the applicant follows the AIMA residence-permit procedure. A visa may carry an appointment or the applicant may need current AIMA booking instructions. A temporary permit for employed work is currently generally valid for two years and renewable for successive three-year periods when legal conditions continue to be met.
The current programme states that the Portuguese tax number (NIF) is prepared with the dossier. The employer must complete the employment link and Social Security procedures; a NISS may be assigned through that process. Ask for proof that the employment link was registered.
Programme information says agricultural work may continue across the year, including greenhouses or other facilities, and work sites may change with operational needs. This is not a legal guarantee. Renewal, probation, termination, location changes and off-season arrangements must be clear in your signed employer contract.
A legal employer change may be possible, but it is not automatic under every document. Before leaving a job, follow the contract notice rules and confirm with AIMA or qualified Portuguese advice whether employment or residence records must be updated.
Portuguese guidance sets the normal maximum at 8 hours a day and 40 hours a week. The actual days, shifts, rest periods and any lawful extra hours depend on the signed contract, workplace rules and applicable labour law.
The employer, role, work-authorisation document and visa basis must match. A work permit, visa and residence card are different documents with different purposes.
The employer-side work authorisation and the Polish national D visa for work purposes are separate steps. Before submission, verify the exact permit type, employer, job, place of work, pay and working time shown in the official file. A visa is not a residence card or a guarantee that a job will continue.
For qualifying non-seasonal work and a stay longer than three months, a temporary residence and work permit may be requested from the relevant voivode while the applicant is legally in Poland. If approved, it may be granted for up to three years. It is not automatic on arrival.
For an employment contract, the employer must register the worker for Polish social and health insurance. Official guidance sets a seven-day registration deadline from the employment date. The employee should request and retain evidence of ZUS registration.
The signed contract controls the employer, role, location, pay, probation, notice and termination terms. Production and warehouse availability can change, so a route description cannot promise uninterrupted employment or renewal.
Polish work and residence decisions commonly specify the employer and working conditions. Changing employer, role, lower pay, hours or contract type can require an amended or new permit. Check the competent voivode's procedure and do not begin the changed work until every required authorisation is in place.
Poland's basic standard is 8 hours a day and an average of 40 hours a week over an average five-day week. Shift systems and lawful exceptions exist; your written schedule and overtime rules must match Polish labour law.
A country card means you may ask about that destination. It is not confirmation that an employer, vacancy, work permit or visa route is currently open.
Confirm the official visa name, work-authorisation document, issuing authority, validity and whether the route is seasonal or long-term.
Confirm whether a post-arrival residence application is available, who books it, the deadline, required address and documents, and who makes the final decision.
Confirm tax and social-insurance registration, who completes it, when it must happen and what proof the worker receives.
Confirm employer identity, job, city, pay basis, hours, shifts, housing, probation, off-season planning, termination and renewal in the final contract.
Confirm what happens if the job ends or the worker wants to change employer, including notice, authority notifications and any new permit required.
Migrate EU should provide the current scope, employer-side documents, included support, exclusions, timing and decision risks in writing for the selected route.
Until those points are verified for a specific employer file, the destination remains under review and should not be treated as an offer.
TRANSPARENT INFORMATION, BEFORE A DECISION
A work route should never be judged by a job title alone. These are the points to clarify for your actual profile and the current employer route.
Employer, role and vacancy availability must be checked in every conversation. Information on this page prepares your questions; it does not confirm a vacancy.
Discuss the country and location, duties, salary indication, estimated timing, age guidance, passport validity and employer information where available.
At the appropriate secure stage, the route may involve employer-side documents, job-offer or contract documents, accommodation confirmation where provided, and process guidance. Scope must be confirmed in writing.
For a selected route, service scope, included and excluded items, and payment stages should be provided in writing. Never assume that consular fees, travel or personal expenses are included.
