If the visa holder has yet to secure employment within the initial 120 days, the visa can be extended for 60 days. This extension provides more time for the job seeker to find a job or start a professional activity in Portugal.
Eligibility for Temporary Residency Permit:
Once the visa holder has secured employment or established a services contract, they can apply for a temporary residency permit. The job seeker must have a valid or services contract to be eligible for this permit.

The initial temporary residency permit granted is valid for two years. During this period, the resident can live and work legally in Portugal.

After five years of residency (including time spent under the temporary and permanent residency permits), the resident may apply for Portuguese citizenship. This process involves demonstrating proficiency in Portuguese, integrating into Portuguese society, and meeting other legal requirements.

To obtain Portuguese citizenship, applicants must meet specific criteria, including:
Demonstrating knowledge of the Portuguese language.
Proving ties to the Portuguese community.
Having a clean criminal record.
Fulfilling any other particular requirements set by Portuguese law.
Following these steps, a job seeker in Portugal can move from a temporary visa status to permanent residency and ultimately to citizenship, gaining full rights as a Portuguese citizen.
