Portugal under no migratory pressure but second in EU in return alerts
A 2026 European Commission report identifies Portugal as the second EU country in terms of return alerts relative to population and GDP, even though it is not classified as being under migratory pressure. The report, covering July 2025 to June 2026, notes that return orders were most frequently issued to citizens of Brazil, India, and Angola.
Why it matters
While this report acknowledges Portugal's specific situation, it signals an increased focus on the execution of return orders, which is relevant for those navigating residency status or monitoring the broader environment for foreign nationals in Portugal.CNN PortugalRead original ↗
