What is the change? Portugal’s new law on administrative procedures requires that all documents submitted to government agencies be translated into Portuguese.
What does the change mean? Applicants submitting documents to immigration authorities must obtain translated versions.
Background: The new law on administrative procedures took effect in April and requires Portuguese translations for all documents submitted to public authorities.
BAL Analysis: Employers and foreign applicants should factor in the additional time for translation of all supporting documentation.
