No, UAE residents cannot complete the entire Portugal Job Seeker Visa application online. While the initial step of registering your intent with Portugal’s employment institute (IEFP) can be done digitally, the formal visa application must be submitted in person. Applicants are required to book an appointment at the Portuguese Embassy in Abu Dhabi or through VFS Global in Dubai, where biometric data will also be collected. This in-person submission ensures that all documents are verified and authenticated. Thus, while some steps are online, the official visa application itself cannot be fully completed remotely from the UAE.
