So after a housing crisis fueled by government choices like Golden Visas driving luxury demand, NHR tax breaks, Digital Nomad visas attracting wealthy outsiders and AirBnB liberalization gutting local supply it’s time to dodge the blame and make life harder for migrants.
Chocked Pikachu.
Kinda harsh for spouses if they haven’t been living together for a year (I’m thinking about military service, jobs requiring temporarily living apart, etc. I’m not sure why they needed to make family reunification more strict.
Europe needs to control the borders a little bit. It’s a mess.
The measures are mostly common sense, but they did two dumb things: increased the difficulty of immigration for skilled migrants (the one Portugal needs most), and lengthened the citizenship requirement to 10 years for most immigrants after getting the first residency permit, and to 7 years for those from other Portuguese-speaking countries, which just complicates integration for those who do arrive inside the country. The correct situation should be that (other than those that get deported) you either get inside and get treated well as long as you work and don’t create problems, or don’t enter at all, instead of getting tons of problems after arriving no matter what you do.
