A new change in Portuguese immigration law is generating concern among foreign families, especially Brazilians.

According to the newspaper PÚBLICO, the President of the Republic has enacted a decree that facilitates the expulsion of people who are in an irregular situation in the country. Among the cases covered are situations that could affect families with minor children, including children born in Portugal.

The change also foresees harsher consequences for those who remain in the country without the proper residence permit, potentially leading to expulsion and even imprisonment for up to one year.

The most concerning point is the risk of family separation: depending on the immigration status of the parents and the legal conditions of the minor, a family may be forced to leave Portugal or face legal proceedings that directly affect the permanence of its members.

The measure reignites the debate on immigration, regularization, and the protection of children and families living in Portugal.

It is important to note that the application of the law depends on the specific situation of each person and the legal procedures. Therefore, anyone in an irregular immigration situation should seek official information or legal advice before making any decision.
