Thank you for doing this Q&A @ZeevFisher!
A couple additional questions from me:
Is it necessary to apply for TISRI/IFICI in the first year after your arrival, or can you apply in a later year (say if you don’t hold a qualifying position upon arrival, but get one later)?
If you can apply later, I assume the 10-year countdown already starts ticking from when you move to Portugal, not when you apply?
Also, after having looked at the application form yesterday I noticed that both when selecting options C (export companies) and F (startups) there are questions about your educational and/or work credentials.
Do the requirement to having at a minimum a PhD or Bachelor’s degree plus three years work experience apply to any path, or just some? Specifically, does it apply when you’re a director or board member for a startup or export company (as opposed to e.g. working in an IT role)?
