Europe Closes Its Doors: Countries Like the United Kingdom, Italy, and Portugal Are Changing Visa, Citizenship, and Residence Laws, Indicating a Tightening of Rules Even for Legal Immigrants

It will be more difficult for Brazilians and other immigrants to enter and regularize in European countries. The United Kingdom, Italy, and Portugal are changing — or planning to change — visa, residence, and citizenship rules. The information comes from the BBC.

In the United Kingdom, Prime Minister Keir Starmer wants to significantly reduce the number of immigrants. Among the measures are mandatory English tests and a longer pathway to permanent residency. The new rules apply to immigrants entering the country legally.

Italy has also tightened the criteria. Previously, it was sufficient to prove some connection to relatives born in the country after March 1861 to obtain citizenship. Now, only grandchildren of Italians born in the country will be able to apply. Those who have already obtained citizenship will not be affected.

Portugal is still in the discussion phase, but may follow the same path. The PSD party, which leads the country, stated that if it remains in power after the legislative elections this Sunday (18), it will propose changes to the nationality law.

The plan is to increase the minimum residency requirement to ten years for applying for Portuguese citizenship.

The BBC reports that there are still no details on how this new deadline would be applied. However, thousands of Brazilians living in Portugal could be affected.

Additionally, the Portuguese government announced it will notify 18,000 immigrants who are in irregular situations. They will be called to leave the country.

The changes in the three countries indicate a trend toward tightening immigration policies, even for those seeking to live legally and regularly in Europe.

Mother and daughter build a 70 m² house with more than 8,000 discarded glass bottles and impress with their creativity; known as the Casa de Sal, the property is located on Itamaracá Island, in Pernambuco.

Workers were opening a new road connection near the Marginal Tietê when they found, in the underground of the construction site, remnants of locomotives, wagons, and boilers from the 19th century linked to the forgotten history of Lapa.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Greek island offers free housing for volunteers, but there’s a condition: you need to take care of rescued cats.

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

China has deployed snake-shaped robots to slide along power lines, where they have already inspected over 130 kilometers of cables using cameras and sensors to detect damaged wires, worn-out parts, and overheating.

Without mortar, without water, and without mess: young people create a dry flooring system that fits ceramic tiles like a puzzle, reduces construction time, and promises to revolutionize the way floors are installed in civil construction.

A rare gas cuts through the hot springs in Zambia and reveals a deep fault that may penetrate the crust down to the Earth’s mantle.

Paper money is disappearing from Brazilians’ pockets, with the issuance of new banknotes dropping by 31% from 2020 to 2025, amid the explosion of Pix, which became the most frequent payment method for 46% of the population, while cash plummeted from 42% to 22%.

Ports without drivers and cabins already move containers like automated factories: robotic cranes, autonomous electric vehicles, and software transform giant terminals into 24-hour logistics machines.

They built an entire village of houses with their own hands made of earth and old tires, in the ecovillage Aardehuis, in the Netherlands, where 44 residents live in Earthships that generate almost all the energy, heat with the sun, and treat sewage in their own garden.
