Yes, one of the most significant advantages of the Portugal Job Seeker Visa is the ability to transition it into a work visa or residence permit once you secure employment. If you are successful in finding a job within the visa validity period, you can apply for a residence permit for work purposes through Portugal’s Immigration and Borders Service (SEF). This means you do not need to leave the country to change your visa status. Instead, your residence permit will allow you to legally live and work in Portugal and eventually open pathways to permanent residency or citizenship.
