An amnesty for illegal workers ended on 1 December 1993 with less than half the numbers expected having regularised. Only 38,000 people will receive residence permits. Before the process began the government estimated that there were 100,000 illegal workers in Portugal, and hoped to regularised up to 80% of them.

Our work is only possible with your support.
