Portugal implements amendments to Immigration Law effective 14 February 2025
In an effort to modernize Portugal's immigration framework and align national practices with EU standards, the Portuguese parliament voted on Law No. 9/2025 on 13 February 2025, approving new legislative changes to the Portuguese Immigration Law. Law No. 9/2025 standardizes the validity periods of residence permits for nationals of the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP) so that they are consistent with validity periods granted to other third-country nationals, ensuring more streamlined and equitable immigration procedures. Additionally, key provisions of EU Regulation 2017/2226, of the European parliament and of the Council of 30 November 2017, are now incorporated in the Portuguese legal framework, thereby establishing a robust Entry/Exit System (EES) and upgrading biometric data protocols at border crossings.
