The wwoofer don't come to work in Portugal, they are travelling, meeting people and sharing the everyday life of the Hosts. Wish you lots of fun in your wwoofing, Rodrigo

Have a look to the contacts at http://www.secomunidades.pt/web/guest/PostosConsulares Please have in mind that you are coming as a tourist having an experience on the field. In case you are coming for work for sure you will need to pass through a long bureaucratic procedure. Wish you a nice WWOOFing, Rodrigo
