Flag of Portugal

The Portuguese government presented on 3 June its action plan for international migration, built around regulated immigration, foreign talent attraction, humanistic integration, and institutional reorganisation. 

The plan comprises 41 measures. These include:

  • the prioritisation of entry channels for family reunification, young students and skilled professionals
  • the development and execution of the national plan for the implementation of the EU Pact on Migration and Asylum
  • the reinforcement of the operational framework of the Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries (CPLP) mobility agreement
  • the establishment of a framework to resolve the more than 400 000 pending cases of, mostly, labour migrants, awaiting regularisation by the Portuguese Agency for Integration, Migraion and Asylum (AIMA)
  • setting up municipal/intercity emergency reception centres for immigrants in cooperation with municipalities;
  • the reinforcement of the offer, coverage and frequency of Portuguese language teaching

See the complete list of measures (in Portuguese) here.
