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.
