Portugal’s Government Decision Affects Thousands of Foreigners with Denied Residence Applications; Itamaraty and Brazilian Consulate in Lisbon Monitor the Situation and Provide Support to the Community.

The Brazilian community in Portugal was surprised by the Portuguese government’s announcement regarding the notification of 18,000 immigrants who are in irregular situations.

Among those affected are citizens from various nationalities, including Brazilians. The measure drew immediate attention from Brazilian diplomatic authorities, who are closely monitoring the case.

According to the Portuguese government, the notified immigrants had their residence applications denied by the Agency for Integration, Migrations, and Asylum (Aima).

Brazilians Represent a Small Number

Despite the significant repercussions, Brazilian diplomatic authorities indicate that Brazilians comprise a small fraction among those affected. This information was reported by the Portuguese newspaper Público, based on preliminary data collected by the Brazilian Embassy in Portugal.

The Consul General of Brazil in Lisbon a, Alessandro Candeas, stated in an interview that he is maintaining direct dialogue with the Portuguese government to monitor the developments of the measure and obtain more detailed information.

The Brazilian ambassador, Raimundo Carreiro, also spoke out and reinforced the commitment to monitor the case carefully.

The Brazilian embassy reported that it is working to clarify the situation and provide support to Brazilians who may be on the notification list. Itamaraty confirmed that it is involved in discussions with Portuguese authorities and working to protect the interests of the Brazilian community in the European country.

According to Amaro’s statements, many of those affected had already received departure orders from other countries in the bloc or had their residence processes blocked due to criminal backgrounds, which prevented the issuance of documents.

Majority of Immigrants Are from Asia

On the list of most affected nationalities, Brazilians appear in fewer numbers, with the majority of cases concentrated among immigrants from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Bhutan. According to the minister, these groups represent about two-thirds of the total 18,000 denials.

The news comes at a delicate moment, with Portugal on the brink of general elections scheduled for May 18.

The measure continues to generate debates, especially among immigrant support associations, which question the timing and motivation of the announcement.

The situation is ongoing, and further updates are expected in the coming days as more notifications are issued.
