What notice period do I give when leaving a job in Portugal?
I have a new offer. How many days must I give?

Portuguese labour law sets minimum notice that grows with seniority and contract type, and your written contract may be stricter. Do not guess from a Facebook thread. Read your contract, then confirm with HR or a labour lawyer / union before you resign in writing.
Checked 8 November 2026. Practical community guidance, not legal or medical advice.
Keep the resignation email or letter with a date stamp. Verbal notice is weak evidence.
