Living & Working
in Portugal

Your next tech role is in Portugal.
We help you get there.

We Are META is a Portuguese tech (IT) consultancy hiring candidates from Portugal and those who are in the process of moving to the country.

We assist you with the logistics, and we stay by your side once you land.

Moving countries is hard enough.
Your employer should not add to it.

We Are META builds embedded tech teams for client companies in Portugal. You join a real project and a team that works with you, with a team who handles the heavy parts of the move – us.

Paperwork
advisory

Visa guidance, government paperwork and legal support.

Health Insurance
from day one in Portugal

Competitive health insurance for every employee in Portugal.

A real team
and a person that knows your name

You join an embedded team on a client tech project. A People Experience Partner is with you from day one.

Growth
that goes past onboarding

Mentoring, training and certifications, so your first project in Portugal is not your last good one.

Over the years we have helped Rhinos from Brazil, the Middle East, Africa, and across Europe move to Portugal and build their careers here.

Why Portugal

You are not only choosing a job. You are choosing where you live. This is what the move looks like in practice.

Safe
and Stable

Portugal consistently ranks among the safest countries in the world, with low crime and a stable political environment.

Healthcare
you can rely on

A universal public health service (SNS) open to residents, plus private insurance if you want faster access.

Sun
for most of the year

A mild Mediterranean climate, with around 300 sunny days a year. Warm summers, mild winters.

Time
to live

Full-time employees get 22 paid holiday days a year, plus public holidays. Many tech companies offer flexible hours and remote options.

Admin
that lives online

Health appointments, tax filing and social security all run through online portals, so a lot of the paperwork happens from your laptop.

Room
for family

Free public schooling from age 6 to 18, and international schools if you prefer a foreign curriculum.

Coffee breaks are a ritual, football is a national passion and the food is worth the trip.
