Pathway overview

For skilled and unskilled workers with an already-secured job offer from a Portuguese employer.

Verified via WebSearch, cross-referenced across multiple independent sources: you need an already-secured employment contract with a Portuguese employer, notarized and stating your role, work location, duration, and salary — paying at least the 2026 minimum wage of €920/month (€11,040/year). The D1 is for people who already have a job offer, not for job-seekers. Portugal publishes annual quotas by sector, and your role must fall within an open quota for the year you apply — this checker verifies your own job offer and salary, not whether this year's sector quota is still open.
