Nepali manpower for Portugal's farms, hotels and building sites
Portugal's agriculture, hospitality and construction sectors rely on seasonal and long-term foreign labour to fill persistent gaps. Moon Treasure recruits, screens and supplies Nepali workers to Portuguese employers as part of our wider European expansion.
Manpower supply to Portugal, an Atlantic-facing EU market
Where Portugal fits in our recruitment network
Portugal is an Atlantic-facing European Union member state with a labour market shaped by three sectors that recur throughout the year: agriculture, hospitality and tourism, and construction. Its farming regions depend heavily on seasonal fruit and vegetable harvesting, a workload that regularly exceeds the local labour supply, particularly in peak picking months. Tourism, one of the country's largest economic contributors, keeps hotels, restaurants and resort operators recruiting year-round, while a steady pipeline of residential and infrastructure projects keeps demand for construction manpower consistent.
For Moon Treasure, Portugal is a natural extension of our Turkey-first strategy for entering European labour markets. Turkey remains our priority gateway, but Portugal's recurring demand for agricultural, hospitality and construction workers makes it a logical market to develop in parallel, using the same recruitment, screening and documentation systems we have built for Nepal-to-UAE and Nepal-to-Turkey placements.
Portugal has historically been among the more accessible EU labour markets for migrant workers, though immigration and work-permit rules evolve and vary by sector and nationality. We track these requirements on an ongoing basis and recommend employers and candidates confirm current status directly with our team before committing to a placement timeline.

How recruitment for Portugal works
A structured, four-step process from Nepal to deployment
- Recruit and trade-test in Nepal. Candidates are sourced, screened and skill-tested against the employer's job order before any documentation begins.
- Prepare documentation and the work-permit or visa application. We handle the paperwork required on both the Nepali and Portuguese sides and submit it through the correct legal channels.
- Arrange travel. Once permits and travel clearance are confirmed, we coordinate flights, orientation and a pre-departure briefing for each worker.
- Deploy and support on-site. Workers are handed over to the employer in Portugal, and our team stays available afterward for coordination on documentation, welfare and contract matters.
