Stupid populism by the out-going center-right government. Most of those are probably well integrated Brazilians working in the tourism sector, and thus this will cause major staffing issues in the upcoming summer season.

Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in !yurop@lemm.ee. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.
(This list may get expanded as necessary.)

Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to any of the mods: @federalreverse@feddit.org, @poVoq@slrpnk.net, or @anzo@programming.dev.

Or British expats who didn't register. Details are needed.
Unfortunately Brazilians have a kind of automatic citizenship on arrival from an agreement between Portugal and Brazil. They just have to say they want to settle here and the government gives them their own ID card with an unlimited visa. So it's very difficult for any of them to be illegal here. These 18.000 are mostly from the Indian subcontinent and north Africa.

Either you are grossly simplifying their extended visa process or you are utterly misinformed.
There is no "automatic citizenship" for Brazilians. The only path to citizenship in Portugal is by bloodline and even that has become harder to get: it used to be that grandchildren of Portuguese citizens could start the process to get citizenship directly, and some good ~15 years ago it changed that only the direct descendants can do it.
While it is true that Brazilians with Portuguese ancestry get some preferential treatment for immigration, it is far from what you describe. And I highly doubt those are people that crossed the border covertly, as the government wouldn't know were they live then. It is far more likely that these are people that came legally to Portugal, have an official address and for some reason lost their visa status but were tolerated to stay. But it might indeed be retired post-brexit British people or some digital nomads.
Iirc Portugal is giving out a lot of temporary work visa to e.g. Nepalese fruit pickers who must then dutifully serve their masters picking raspberries for multiple years to get a chance at a citizenship. Those would seem to be the kind of people ejected first/most easily.
Does this include people on expired visas due to the snail's pace of the bureaucracy required to renew them? They had fallen so far behind that they just said all the documents were good for an additional year last year. https://www.theportugalnews.com/news/2024-06-26/government-extends-validity-of-immigrant-documents/90196
Wow that is one hell of a useless article. Basically just a headline and nothing else.
That's all most people read anyway :^)
