In recent years, thousands of Brazilians have opted to migrate to Portugal. According to the Immigration, Borders and Asylum Report, released by the SEF (Foreigners and Borders Service) in 2021, 204,694 Brazilian citizens reside in the European country. This number represents the largest community of foreign people in Portugal.
Many venture out with the idea of a better and easier life than the one they live in Brazil. However, many are faced with the harsh reality of being an immigrant looking for a job and new opportunities. As a result, many seek to return to Brazil even after having given up their economic activities in the country to invest in migration.
