About this service
Portugal's public employment service. Job seekers aged 16 or over can register online on iefponline or in person at an employment centre (generally 9:00–17:00) or the IEFP desk in some Citizen Shops. Non-EU nationals need a document that allows them to live and work in Portugal. IEFP training centres also run Portuguese courses for migrants (PLA).
