As unemployment continues to rise and inflation hits double digits, many people are thinking about leaving Brazil to try their luck abroad. And along with Dublin and Canada, Portugal is one of the most coveted travel destinations for Brazilians.
The good news is that the dream of working abroad may be getting closer. Because on June 15, the Portuguese Council of Ministers approved a bill to amend the law on foreigners. And this may have a good chance of being approved. So, to find out what it's all about, check it out below!

According to information released, the idea is to relax some rules to reduce bureaucracy in the entry of temporary visas. In practice, this would increase the immigrants' stay to 120 days, with the possibility of an extension for another 60 days.
Children and close relatives can take them with them. Previously, this was only possible if the immigrant had already obtained citizenship, usually by marrying a local. In addition to cutting red tape, these measures also take into account the well-being of parents and children.
Of course, for those who are thinking about working and living in Portugal, one of the biggest advantages is the language. Today, the number of Brazilians living in Portugal has increased significantly. In 2021, it reached a record number of 209,072 people. In addition to a culture similar to Brazil, the economy is also stable and salaries, although not the highest, cover the cost of living, which is considered low.
After all, since this is a bill, it may or may not take some time to be implemented. But if it does happen, it should benefit those who decide to spend more time in Portugal, which is true for Brazilians. It remains to be seen and followed the government's decisions.
