Portugal President promulgates new migration and asylum law

migration policy deportation law asylum reform Constitutional Court António José Seguro

Portuguese President António José Seguro has promulgated a new law governing the entry, stay, removal, and asylum of foreigners. The legislation, which aims to align national policy with the European Union Migration and Asylum Pact, was enacted following a ruling by the Constitutional Court that found the contested provisions to be constitutional.

Prior to promulgation, President Seguro had requested a preventive constitutional review due to concerns regarding the protection of the best interests of children and the proportionality of administrative detention for foreign nationals who have not committed crimes. The Constitutional Court addressed these concerns by establishing interpretive criteria to guide authorities, specifically regarding the potential expulsion of children born in Portugal and the prevention of family separation.

The new law includes measures to accelerate the expulsion of undocumented immigrants and increases the maximum stay in temporary installation centres from 60 to 180 days. It also extends the ban on re-entering Portugal for those forcibly removed to five years in certain cases. The legislation was approved by the Assembly of the Republic in July with support from the Social Democratic Party, CDS-PP, and Liberal Initiative, while the Chega party abstained.
