The Portuguese government has taken a significant step towards addressing the issue of illegal stay within the country. In a recent development, the government has approved new measures aimed at regularizing the status of individuals living in Portugal without proper documentation.
These measures are part of a broader effort to ensure that all residents have legal status and access to rights and services. The changes are intended to improve social integration and reduce the challenges faced by irregular citizens in Portugal.
Congress has approved a resolution to keep the federal agencies funded until December 20, 2024. This temporary measure maintains government funding at existing levels until the specified date. However, it's important to note that if no additional legislation is passed by the time the continuing resolution expires, some immigration services, especially those managed by the Department of Labor, could be impacted.
The National Unit for Foreigners within the Public Security Police (PSP) will be implemented to oversee air border control, immigration monitoring, and the removal and return of irregular citizens. The Department of Homeland Security is responsible for overseeing the impact of the temporary funding law on immigration services in the event of a government shutdown in the United States.

The Schengen News provided the information for this summary, which was prepared using information from local service providers. The measures are designed to streamline the process for regularizing the status of individuals who are currently living in Portugal without proper documentation.
It's essential to remember that a government shutdown could still occur if there is no agreement on the FY 2025 budget or another stopgap measure by December 20, 2024. In such a scenario, the impact on immigration services, including those in Portugal, remains uncertain.
The initiative is a significant step towards addressing the complex issue of irregular immigration in Portugal. As the situation evolves, it's advisable to stay informed and seek professional advice when necessary.
