Moving from South Africa to Portugal

Portugal is situated on the Iberian Peninsula of western Europe, and includes the Azores and Madeira archipelagos. The capital and largest city is Lisbon, with a population of just over half a million people. The total population of Portugal is around 11 million people. The country covers around 92,000 square kilometres. As a member of the European Union (EU), the local currency is the Euro (€). The official language of Portugal is Portuguese.

Visa requirements for Portugal
South Africans travelling to Portugal require a valid passport and a Schengen visa. The Schengen territory includes the European countries of Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain and Sweden. Obtaining this visa allows you to travel in between all of these countries without the need of obtaining additional visas for border crossings in to each country.

South Africans can go through a visa agency or apply in person Portuguese Embassy in Johannesburg, Cape Town or Pretoria or the Portuguese Embassy in Pretoria. You cannot apply through the Consulate in Durban. You should allow at least a week for processing but not more than three months prior to travel for arranging your visa.

Non-EU (European Union) citizens planning on working in Portugal need to have a work permit (Autorização de Trabalho). A future employer can arrange this for you from the local labour office. You are required to pay taxes and contribute to the social security system and as such will need to arrange the following upon arrival:

• Residency Card (Cartão de Residencia) an official legal document for all EU and non-EU citizens which is obtained from the Portuguese Immigration Office (Serviços de Estrangeiros e Fronteiros)
  
  
• Register with Social Security (Segurança Social) regardless of working full or part-time or being self-employed, you must pay social security contributions
  
  
• obtain a Tax Code (Numero Fiscal de Contribuinte) from the local Director General of Taxes (Direcçaõ-Geral dos Impostos) in your area

As with all forms of international travel, the visa requirements and conditions are subject to strict regulations and can change at any time. You should always check with your local embassy prior to embarking on any travel to ensure that you conform to the rules.
