SEF Investigation: Around 100 foreigners attempt to fraudulently regulate themselves
The Public Ministry of Albufeira has deducted charges against two Portuguese citizens for the crimes of falsifying documents and aid to illegal immigration, with one of them still charged with the practice of computer fraud crimes and possession of a pro weapon fire.
The investigation, carried out by the Foreign and Border Service (SEF), began in October 2018, with one of the accused a resident of Faro, where he works as an Accounts Officer, and the other resident in the United Kingdom, being their own rate of shopping in Amadora
Both of them, in conjunction with efforts, aided the regularization of more than a hundred foreign nationals, using fraudulent documents that simulated labor relationships that in fact never existed.
In the course of the investigation, in addition to the company in the Algarve and initial visa requests, more "ghost" companies and various irregularities were detected for the purposes of regulatory in national territory.

The campaign against human trafficking in football "Don't let your dream turn into a nightmare" was presented yesterday in a webinar transmitted from Guimarães, with the participation of the Secretary of State for Equality and Migrations, Isabel Al Meida Rodrigues, of the Portuguese Football Federation, of the Union of Professional Soccer & Foreign Service Players
The coordinator of the SEF Anti-Trafficking Unit, Chief Inspector Orlando Ribeiro, said that the cases involve, as a rule, “smaller clubs that want to achieve a higher level of professionalism, even when they don’t have the conditions”.
"Clubs go to SAD and have many people of foreign nationals, several times linked to football agencies," he said, detailing that "results addiction" is another aspect, sometimes, linked to traffic.
This year, SEF has already signalled in Portugal 20 victims of human trafficking for agricultural exploitation and football.
A campanha contra o tráfico humano no futebol “Não deixes que o teu sonho se transforme em pesadelo” foi, ontem, apresentada num webinar transmitido a partir de Guimarães, com a participação da secretária de Estado da Igualdade e Migrações, Isabel Almeida Rodrigues, da Federação Portuguesa de Futebol, do Sindicato dos Jogadores Profissionais de Futebol e do Serviço de Estrangeiros e Fronteiras.
O coordenador da Unidade Anti Tráfico de Pessoas do SEF, Inspetor Chefe Orlando Ribeiro, referiu que os casos envolvem, por regra, “clubes menores que querem atingir um maior nível de profissionalismo, mesmo quando não têm condições”.
“Os clubes passam a SAD e a ter muitas pessoas de nacionalidade estrangeira, várias vezes ligadas a agências de futebol”, afirmou, detalhando que “a viciação de resultados” é outro dos aspetos, por vezes, ligado ao tráfico.
Este ano, o SEF sinalizou já em Portugal 20 vítimas de tráfico de seres humanos para exploração agrícola e futebol.
Ukrainian citizens and their spouses who have left their homeland as a result of Russian aggression will be able to legally stay in Poland till Aug 24th, 23.
There is also a path for the further legalization of the stay of Ukrainian citizens and their spouses who were granted PESEL with UKR annotation in Poland. They can apply for TRC which will be granted once for a period of 3 years from the date of the decision issuance.
An application for a temporary residence permit could submitted by a citizen of Ukraine and his/ her spouse no earlier than 9 months from the date of entry (which means that Ukrainians who fled on Feb 24th, 22 can apply the earliest on Nov 24th, 22, and no later than on Aug 24th, 23, the ones who came on Mar 1st, 22 could submit TRC application not earlier than Dec 1st, 22 and so on).
TRC application submitted within 9 months from the date of entry is left without examination by the voivode .
Will an influx of TRC applications submitted by Ukraine nationals slow down legalization of stay procedures of non-EU and non-Ukraine citizens? Time will tell.
