Want to immigrate? Want to work during the holiday? Come to Portugal!

For example, those who have no money and skills and want to emigrate, or those who want to work and travel on holiday, but can't grab the Australia-New Zealand WHV, there are really not many choices. For a diaosi like me, Portugal can completely solve this problem.

Maybe Portugal is not your favorite place, but at least, having this choice is better than nothing.

Portugal, located in southern Europe, was once a maritime hegemon. Although it is not as long as the motherland, it is also a country with a long history and cultural heritage. The climate is very pleasant, and there is no problem of cold winter and short days in northern Europe. The price is low, the cost of living is low, and the welfare guarantee standards in all aspects are similar to those in other European countries. Moreover, compared with other countries, it is not easy to obtain residence status in Portugal.

? There is no information about working holidays in Portugal on the Internet, because there really isn't. As for Portuguese immigrants, a search on the Internet shows that all the projects of buying a house to study in Portugal are still out of reach for ordinary people at the bottom. Let me tell you something about my experience here. ?

? Before I came to Portugal, everything I knew about this country was basically related to football. There are many Brazilians in Portugal due to colonial history. Because there is no language barrier, Brazilians can easily stay in Portugal. However, this is due to Portugal's very friendly policy towards illegal immigrants. How good is it? How about the following:

Get a tourist visa, buy a plane ticket, come to Portugal, find a black job, get an employment contract, pay taxes for 6 months, and you can apply for a local residence card! Hold this legal ID card for 7 years and pass the language test, then you can be naturalized.

? When I first arrived, my Brazilian friends met me and lived with them in the country. I can't speak Portuguese, so I can only communicate in English. Even now, I have only learned the most basic etiquette, but this has not affected my work and life here at all.

? Jet lag in the first week, adapted to the new environment, and then began to look for a working group. Tourist visas do not allow you to work. You can only find black workers, not Portuguese, but China people. The method is simple, find it at home or online. Where can I find it at home? Of course I went to the Chinese community! Where is the Chinese community? I don't know. Check online or ask with your mouth. If you don't mind being a waiter or a department store clerk, this job is really easy to find, so don't worry too much. Specific reference: "Portuguese Ma Bao Street Forum", which can be consulted on the Internet.

? If you have just arrived in Portugal and have no friends to pick you up, you can stay in youth travel, which is very cheap, about 10 euro a day, including breakfast. I have been to Lisbon twice, and both of them live in youth travel. Basically the price is the same. I recommend this application in booking.com, and you can get all kinds of accommodation information.

? Here you are, staying in a youth hostel and looking for a job. After working for a month, you can ask the boss for a contract. This is a reasonable request, and the average boss will not be too embarrassed. After all, he should take these into account when hiring you. If he doesn't want to, he won't agree to hire you. But if the boss is from China, the situation will be more complicated. But you'll get it in the end. I'll talk about it later.

Let's start with my three Brazilian friends. They all found jobs as local bosses in Portugal. After working for more than a month, they all asked the boss for an employment contract, and the boss gave them the contract and began to report for work and tax returns. In mid-April, the Brazilian sister who lived together had paid the tax for six months. I accompanied her to Braga to submit a residence application, which went well. Immigration only asked her to make up some materials, and other questions were nothing special.

? It really took some time to make up the materials. If the materials are complete, it will save more time. Then I waited. The application process varies from place to place. Places like Porto and Lisbon are slow, and it may take half a year to get down. Small places will be much faster, such as my friend's application in Braga. Her application has been approved and is now waiting to be sent. Once she gets it, she is legal. She and her boyfriend came to Portugal last September, and in less than a year, their status was legal.

Do you think it is too simple and boring? This is entirely due to Article 88 of the Portuguese Immigration Law. It is also the best shortcut for illegal immigrants to change jobs and stay. This is the easiest way to immigrate to Europe as far as I know.

Of course, the details of the operation can't be as understated as I described. First of all, it is easy to get a Schengen visa or a Portuguese visa. There are many choices on a treasure. After getting the visa, the next step is to buy a plane ticket. Recommended: SkyTour.com, Qunar.com and Jetradar. These three apps will definitely help you choose a ticket with the right price, but it is best to book it in advance. Temporary booking is more expensive. It's luck to pick up cheap, and you can't live by luck. Before coming, if someone is the best, if no one, book a youth tour in advance. Then it's time to find a job. Methods have been mentioned before. It's simple.

If you are really poor and can't even get a visa, air tickets and accommodation, there is really no way to help you. When traveling in China, you need some savings to buy train tickets. Go to the north to develop. Don't charge a penny, dare you find a job? The same is true, but it really doesn't cost too much. From visa application to air tickets to youth travel and poor travel, the standard of 5,000 RMB is similar. I can't think of any other way unless I can get a cheap ticket or take a ride across Asia and Europe.

To get a contract, you must first have a tax number and a social security number. The local Chinese call it the welfare number, and English is: social security number. I think it is more appropriate to translate it into social security number. The tax number is simple. Just find someone with Portuguese nationality to take you to the local financial department to apply, mainly as a guarantee. But in fact, it is just a formality, and there is nothing to guarantee at all, because the tax number is used to pay taxes and send money to the Portuguese government, and has nothing to do with immigrant visas and residence.

? Generally, explain a little, local friends will help apply and get the tax number on the spot. If you start paying taxes soon, there is no problem. But if you don't use this tax number within six months, it will expire as soon as six months arrive, but you can just go to the finance department to refresh it. Just go when you refresh yourself, just like going to the bank to handle affairs. It's simple to enter the door, get the number, do things, and finish.

If you don't have local friends to help, ask your boss for help. As long as the boss is willing to give you the contract, it is impossible not to help. With the tax number, you can apply for a contract. The boss gives you a contract, but there is no social security number on the contract, so the labor department can't accept this contract, so it will tell you that they can't accept your contract and need to transfer to other places to apply for social security number before the labor department can approve this contract. But don't worry about this, they will directly transfer to another department, and the social security number is automatically generated. Then at most one month, your social security number comes down, report it to the boss and update the contract. Submit the contract, and you can pay taxes after the contract is approved. After paying taxes for 6 months, you can apply for residence from your workplace.

How to make an appointment with sef (Immigration Bureau), how to apply for a residence permit, what to do without a criminal certificate, and related contact numbers and websites. , will be updated next time. If I only worked on holiday, there wouldn't be so many problems. Come here, find a job, play while working, and stay for months at a time. You have enough money and enough fun, so you can go to another country
