The Agency for Integration, Migration and Asylum (AIMA) has launched a training program called 'Integrar para a Construção' to prepare 500 immigrants for jobs in the construction sector. The initiative includes 300 hours of technical training and 300 hours of internships, with applications open until July 5.

Context & Explainers

Temporary residence is a limited residence permit that allows non‑EU nationals to live in Portugal for a set period (commonly one year, renewable) for study, work or other reasons. The Agência para a Integração, Migrações e Asilo (AIMA) launching an online form means eligible students who also work can apply or regularise their status more easily through AIMA’s process rather than only via consular services.
