Portugal has officially closed the legal route for undocumented migrants seeking legalization, impacting migrant communities including those from Nepal.
The government of Portugal has announced the termination of the legal pathway that previously allowed undocumented migrants to apply for legalization. This policy shift affects various migrant groups residing in Portugal, including Nepalese workers, who may now face increased challenges in regularizing their status. The decision aims to tighten migration control but has raised concerns among migrant advocacy groups about potential negative impacts on vulnerable populations. Official statements highlight the government’s intent to strengthen border management and migration policies. Reports from InfoMigrants indicate that undocumented migrants must now seek alternative solutions or face the risk of remaining without legal protections.
