Portugal and India signed an agreement on recruitment of Indian workers


This agreement sets the procedures for the admission of Indian citizens for a professional activity, under a work contract, in Portugal. It will apply to recruitment for any employment activity and whatever the duration of the employment contract, and Indian workers will benefit from all the rights guaranteed by Portuguese law.


Whenever a portuguese employer wishes to hire an Indian worker, he must communicate this intention to the Employment and Professional Training Institute (IEFP), which will transmit it to the Indian authorities. The Indian authorities will carry out a selection process, at the end of which the employment contract will be signed and the visa granted to the recruited worker.
