Portuguese Lawyer Explains the New Law (Without the Panic)

Immigration has changed in Portugal so is it still worth it for you to move to Portugal? Kalie from ExpatsEverywhere talks to Diogo, an immigration lawyer, about the recent bill that was passed and how it affects expats, immigrants, and locals. There have been changes with the citizenship law, having a baby in Portugal, and more. He also updates everyone on what is going on with permanent residency and who can be grandfathered in. Have these recent law changes affected you? If you would like to speak to a lawyer about your situation, email Kalie at [email protected] and she will connect you. 🌏 ABOUT US Hi!
