Lisbon, Porto and a national AI agenda

In January 2026 the government adopted the Agenda Nacional de Inteligência Artificial (ANIA), with 32 initiatives in four areas and more than €400 million to be mobilised by 2030. The agenda itself notes that Portugal's AI ecosystem is concentrated in Lisbon and Porto.

Unbabel, which builds AI translation, was founded in Lisbon; Feedzai, which uses machine learning against financial fraud, lists Portugal among its locations; and Google has an office in Lisbon.

The Tech Visa, in English

With an EU passport, you need no work permit. From outside the EU, the Tech Visa, open since 2019, brings highly qualified workers to companies certified by IAPMEI: it needs a contract of at least 12 months paying at least 2.5 times the IAS, Portugal's social support index, a bachelor's degree or a shorter higher qualification with five years of specialised experience, and a working knowledge of Portuguese, English, French or Spanish.

The EU Blue Card is the other route, for a contract of at least six months paying 1.5 times the national average gross salary, or 1.2 times for shortage occupations.
