Please stay on the line, your deportation is important to us…
Actually, it sounds like he’s done everything by the book and should be allowed to remain, so it’s a bit shit alright :/
any day now, dont worry
Can’t he just pay for a flight home?
>In SEF’s reply, they say they recognise that there is a problem within the system that needs to be solved, which they say is a consequence of the pandemic and the growing number of requests from citizens. They also say that they are working to find solutions to this problem. However, SEF doesn’t present any specific solutions for this case.
Either:
* Officially impose a moratorium on enforcement until the backlog is clear plus some amount of time
Or
* Officially announce that as long as Steps X, Y, and Z have occurred (e.g. the following forms have been mailed to the government by Date X, where someone has indicated that they are currently not present legally but that this is because they have been unable to get processed), there is no illegality involved.
That way people worried about breaking the law can stop worrying about getting in trouble with the law and Portugal has time to clear the backlog.
