2) Without prejudice to any right to free movement and residence the persons concerned may have in their own right, is facilitated, in accordance with the general law, the entry and residence of any other family member irrespective of their nationality, not falling under the definition in point e) of the previous article who, in the country from which they have come, are dependants or members of the household of the Union citizen having the primary right of residence, or where serious health grounds strictly require the personal care of the family member by the Union citizen;

and law 7/2001 of 11.05 defines the legal regime applicable to persons living in de facto union for more than 2 years. NB: two years requirement – the Commission mentioned one year as an indicative threshold, but the reference to two years only applies to de facto unions regulated by Portuguese law and not to other durable relationships.

The host Member State shall undertake an extensive examination of the personal circumstances and shall justify any denial of entry or residence to these people.

Art. 3.3 3—A decisão relativa à entrada e residência das pessoas abrangidas pelo número anterior só pode ser tomada após análise de todas as circunstâncias pessoais relevantes, devendo ser fundamentada qualquer recusa de entrada ou de concessão de autorização de residência.

The decision regarding the entry and residence of the people falling under the previous paragraph can only be taken after extensive examination of all the personal circumstances and any denial of entry or residence shall be justify.

Y Literal transposition The previous paragraph is Article 3(2) transposing Article 3(2)(a) of the Directive. No need to apply this to Article 3(2)(b) since they have been granted the right to enter and reside as family members (thus no discretion).

Chapter II. RIGHT OF EXIT AND ENTRY

Art. 4.1 Right of Exit Without prejudice to the provisions on travel documents applicable to national border controls, all Union citizens with a valid identity card or passport and their family members who are not nationals of a Member State and who hold a valid passport shall have the right to leave the territory of a Member State to travel to another Member State.

Art. 5.1

Saída do território nacional 1— Sem prejuízo das disposições em matéria de documentos de viagem aplicáveis ao controlo nas fronteiras nacionais, têm o direito de sair do território nacional todos os cidadãos da União, munidos de um bilhete de identidade ou passaporte válidos, bem como os seus familiares, que estejam munidos de um passaporte válido […]

Right of exit from the national territory Without prejudice to the provisions on travel documents applicable to national border controls, all Union citizens shall have the right to leave the national territory of a Member State to travel to another Member State with a valid identity card or passport as well as their family who hold a valid passport

Y Effective transposition The right of exit is granted even if the Union citizen is travelling outside the EU but this provision does not distinguish the nationality of the family member. However, since it is clear from the formulation of the provision that “ALL Union citizens” have the right to leave the country with ID or passport, it is also clear that the family members referred to in the provision can only be third country family members.

Art. 4.2 No exit visa or equivalent formality may be imposed on the persons to whom paragraph 1 applies.

Art. 5. 1 […] não sendo exigível um visto de saída ou formalidade equivalente.

[…] No exit visa or equivalent formality may be imposed


Art. 4.3 Member States shall, acting in accordance with their laws, issue to their own nationals, and renew, an identity

A obtenção do cartão de cidadão é obrigatória para todos os cidadãos nacionais, residentes em Portugal ou no estrangeiro, a partir dos 6 anos de idade ou logo que a sua apresentação seja exigida para o relacionamento com algum serviço público.

The citizen card is mandatory for all citizens, resident in Portugal or abroad, from 6 years of age or whenever their submission is required by a public service.

identity cards and passports stating their nationality. The right of national citizens to hold a passport is granted by Law Decree 83/2000 of 11.05 modified by Law Decree 138/2006 of 26.07. As for identity cards issues, Law 7/2007 has unified in the citizen card the ID, the social security number, the finance number and the health number.

Art.4.4 The passport shall be valid at least for all Member States and for countries through which the holder must pass when travelling between Member States. Where the law of a Member State does not provide for identity cards to be issued, the period of validity of any passport on being issued or renewed shall be not less than five years.

Art. 24.1 and Art. 1º Law Decree 138/2006

Art. 24 Validade do Passaporte O passaporte comum é válido por um período de 5 anos. Art. 1 O passaporte é um documento de viagem individual que permite ao seu titular a entrada e saída do território nacional, bem como do território de outros Estados que o reconheçam para esse efeito.

Art. 24 Validity of the passport The common passport is valid for a period of five years. Art. 1 The passport is an individual travel document that allows the holder the right of entry and exit of national territory, as well as to the territories of other States, as long as they recognise it for that purpose.

Y Effective transposition Since no specification was found of the territorial scope of the passport, the CA was contacted and clarified that passports issued in Portugal are valid for all Member States Moreover since Portugal applies the common features for all EU Passports included in Council Resolution of 23 June 1981 and Regulation 2252/2006 it is understood that this provision has been effectively transposed into national law.

Art. 5.1 Right of Entry 1. Without prejudice to the provisions on travel documents applicable to national border controls, Member States shall grant Union citizens leave to enter their territory with a valid identity card or passport and shall grant family members who are not nationals of a Member State leave to enter their territory with a valid passport.

Art. 4.1, 1st part Art. 4.2, 1st part

Entrada no território nacional 1—Aos cidadãos da União é admitida a entrada no território nacional mediante a simples apresentação de um bilhete de identidade ou de passaporte válidos […] 2- Os familiares de cidadãos da União que não possuam a nacionalidade de um Estado membro são admitidos no território nacional mediante a

Art. 5.2 2. Family members who are not nationals of a Member State shall only be required to have an entry visa in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 539/2001 or, where appropriate, with national law. For the purposes of this Directive, possession of the valid residence card referred to in Article 10 shall exempt such family members from the visa requirement.

Y Effective transposition The Portuguese provision makes a general reference to EC law which may broaden the scope of the situations where entry visa is required and will serve to cover amendments to the Regulation as well as any other EU act that could replace or complement the Regulation without needing to amend the law. For more specific information on the residence card please refer to Art. 15/4b of the Portuguese law. Law 23/2007 regulates the types of visas and the application procedures.

Member States shall grant such persons every facility to obtain the necessary visas. Such visas shall be issued free of charge as soon as possible and on the basis of an accelerated procedure.

At the controlled border posts may be granted, on exceptional grounds, transit or short stay visas to a foreign citizen whom, due to unexpected reasons, was unable to apply for a visa to the competent authorities, provided the applicant: a) Holds a valid travelling document that allows the border

Y Literal transposition No specific reference was found on the accelerated procedure. The CA has however clarified that the administrative procedure is simplified with regard to the documents required at the moment of registration which accelerates the process for granting the visa. In a follow up interview with the Portuguese focal point we were informed that in some cases it is possible to grant a visa in accordance with Art. 67 of Law 2372007.

Effective transposition This provision requires “family members” to show their identity and family links. In Portugal the beneficiaries include the family members who are third country nationals since, as stated under Art. 5.1 above, the Portuguese legislator does not seem to discriminate family members on the basis of their nationality. According with the Portuguese focal point (Dr. Mário Pedro) “reasonable oportunity” and “reasonably period of time” should be understood as an Administrative prerogative regarding which no guidelines need to be defined.

Art.5.5 5. The Member State may require the person concerned to report his/ her presence within its territory within a reasonable and non-discriminatory period of time. Failure to comply with this requirement may make the person concerned liable to proportionate and non-discriminatory sanctions.

Art. 4.5 Art. 14.1, 14.2 and 14.3, Law 23/2007

5- O familiar que não tenha a nacionalidade de um Estado membro deve comunicar a sua presença no território nacional nos termos da lei, sendo o incumprimento desta obrigação punido nos termos da lei de entrada, permanência, saída e afastamento de estrangeiros. 14.1.

The foreign citizens that enter the Country by an uncontrolled border, coming from another Member State, are bound to declare that fact within three week days of the entry

Y Effective transposition The Portuguese provision refers to Law 23/2007 which approves the legal framework of entry, permanence, exit and removal of foreigners into and out of national territory.

under Art. 3b) of Law 23/2007 as meaning: any activity undertaken personally within a contract of services regarding a liberal profession or commercial society. As for worker this concept has been extensively interpreted by the ECJ and one of the conditions is being under the direction of someone else. In interpreting the Portuguese law it was assumed that all references to “actividade subordinada” under the direction of someone else meant worker.

us

Ambiguous transposition The condition to demonstrate sufficient resources not to become a burden in the Portuguese social assistance system will only be required for those Union citizens and their family members whose Member State of origin requires the same to Portuguese citizens in the same circumstances- in case that is not required by the Member State of origin the right of residence will be granted without this requirement having to be fulfilled. This system creates a more favourable treatment of those citizens and family members who are not subject to the conditions. However, the Commission considers the reciprocity condition is discrimination on the grounds of nationality. As such, the transposition is assessed as ambiguous.
