Immigration: the courts may be changing too.

The reform of Administrative and Tax Justice proposes the creation of specialised courts for immigration and international protection, as well as a new territorial distribution of injunction proceedings against AIMA.

At this stage, these measures are still proposals under parliamentary discussion, following approval at first reading.

For people living, working or seeking to regularise their status in Portugal, these changes may affect how certain cases are handled by the courts.

In immigration matters, understanding your rights and available legal remedies can make a difference.

This information is of a general and abstract nature. Therefore, any decisions regarding these matters should be made with the support of qualified professionals and assessed on a case-by-case basis.
