In September, regulations for the first stateless persons' status in Portugal will come into effect. This legislation aims to guarantee rights for individuals without nationality and was initiated by the Livre party.

The stateless persons' status was established in 2023, but the necessary regulations were never implemented due to the collapse of the previous socialist government.

With the new regulations, it is expected that the procedures and rights associated with stateless persons will be clarified, allowing for better integration of these individuals into society.

Although details regarding how the regulations will function have not been provided, their implementation will be an important step in recognizing the rights of stateless persons.
