Programme provides administrative, logistical and financial support to immigrants in Portugal who wish or need to return to their country of origin, or to a third country, but do not have the financial means to do so.
In a total of two thousand registered, only 325 returned effectively, and the nationality with the most returned is the Brazilian one. Vasco Malta says that many immigrants end up giving up the request.
More than 2,000 immigrants have requested support to return to the country of origin since 2020, of which 1,767 are Brazilians, with a 40% increase in 2025.
