Portugal's government announced on Monday, June 3, a new plan to tighten immigration rules. The new policy requires most foreigners wishing to enter and live in the country to obtain a work visa. This move comes in response to record immigration numbers and follows a political shift to the right. The government has repealed a key law from the former socialist administration that had promoted people moving to the country for work. This change aligns Portugal with other European Union countries that have recently toughened their migration policies. The announcement comes days before Europeans head to the polls.
