Elena Russo is an Italian from Tuscany, a small village near Florence. The 33-year-old has been in Portugal for three months. He was soon granted a residence permit, which was facilitated for EU citizens and represents a good portion of the 109,000 new residents in the country. He is obsessed with Lisbon and was one of 5307 Italians who came to live in Portugal last year, members of the community most represented on the new visas. The French and Germans follow.

“I do a kind of tour around Europe, I live in England, Holland, Spain, now in Portugal, I started working in a call center, but I didn’t like it, I came to this. I love restaurant, customer contact and I work in the center of Lisbon, I can see how the Portuguese live and I have many Italian colleagues, ”explains Elena Russo.

She is the maid at the Volto Building Pizzeria in Piero Alto, which was packed despite a quiet night last Friday. Portuguese and foreigners at the table, Italians in the kitchen and service. Elena will be staying in Lisbon for now, arguing: “I like everything about the food, the people, the climate in Portugal. It has a good atmosphere. People are very happy.” If I had to choose a country to live in for a long time, it would be Portugal or Scotland. Low salary is not a barrier compared to Italy because it is said to be offset by lower cost of living.

French Gullet Mathis, 31, and Apte Cebab, 42, first from Marseille and second from Paris, met at the first company where they came to work, meanwhile they left.

“I came to see a friend, I really enjoyed it. I went back to Paris, but because there was not much work, I decided to look for work in Portugal. Life is quieter, occupation is less, food, landscape, women. A better life,” says Gullet. He is a law graduate, works in the management department at Uber and insists that foreigners living here are paid more than Portuguese. Aside from the fact that they hire companies to carry out the entire installation process in the country, they say it makes the process much easier.

First, family reunification groups (29,473), immigrants who come to meet family members.
