Portugal has enacted stricter immigration laws, making it harder for immigrants to enter the country. The new regulations, supported by right and far-right parties, include a two-year lawful stay requirement for family reunification and restrict job search visas to highly skilled individuals. The bill faced opposition from left-wing parties and has sparked debate over nationality requirements. The head of state is expected to promulgate the new law, which reflects a significant increase in non-Portuguese residents in the country.
