    rules: {
        firstname: {
            minlength: 3,
            maxlength: 15,
            required: true
        },

            error.insertAfter(element.parent());
        } else {
            error.insertAfter(element);
        }
    }
});

            <input class="form-control" placeholder="Insira o seu nome próprio" name="firstname" type="text" />
        </div>
    </div>

    <div class="form-group">

        <div class="input-group">
            <span class="input-group-addon">€</span>
            <input class="form-control" placeholder="Insira o seu apelido" name="lastname" type="text" />
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
        <label class="control-label" for="lastname">selectBox 1</label>
        <div class="input-group">
            <span class="input-group-addon">€</span>
           <select class="required form-control">
               <option value="0"></option>
               <option value="1">1</option>
               <option value="2">2</option>

            </select>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
        <label class="control-label" for="lastname">selectBox 2</label>
        <div class="input-group">
            <span class="input-group-addon">€</span>
           <select class="required form-control">
               <option value="0"></option>
               <option value="1">1</option>
               <option value="2">2</option>

1) You must have a unique name attribute on each element. This is a requirement of the jQuery Validate plugin.

2) The first option must have value="" and not value="0".

Working DEMO: http://jsfiddle.net/hTPY7/1436/

3) OP's demo is broken because he keeps using the same id twice. For valid HTML, every id must be unique on a page.

All you need to do is to add the name attribut to both select boxes and set the first option to no text and no value

<select name="s1" class="required form-control">
              ^--  Don't forget to add different names for both select
    <option></option>
    <option value="1">1</option>
    <option value="2">2</option>
</select>
