Portuguese Immigration System

Immigration programs in Portugal are similar to other states of EU. As an EU citizen, you are free to travel and Portugal is part of the Schengen Area whereas, non-EU migrants can move to Portugal for work, study, join a family, or retire if they meet certain conditions set by Portuguese government. The quickest option is the Golden Visa program, which aims to attract immigrants with investment in the country.

According to its UN migration management profile, Portugal allows for better access to housing, welfare, and educational services even though it lacks in other areas such as political rights, for example, foreign nationals are unable to vote in local elections.

The Portuguese Immigration and Borders Service (SEF - Service de Estrangeiros e Fronteiras) handles migration to Portugal.
