The expression of interest is no longer available since July 2024, for both dependent and subordinate workers. Therefore, unless you are a highly qualified worker, to obtain a work residence permit, you must apply for a visa at the Portuguese consulate in the country of origin or country in which you have been legally resident for more than one year.
