Italy Makes Fingerprint Collection Mandatory for Long-Term Visas Starting January 11
Starting on January 11, 2025, candidates for long-term Schengen visas to Italy, including visas issued for employment and study purposes, among others, are required to visit the nearest embassy in their home country, where they will have their biometrics collected, including their fingerprints.
The measure already applies to short-term visa applicants. In addition, international students in Italy will also be subject to the fingerprint rule, which requires them to book and attend an individual appointment at the Italian consulate, where they will have their fingerprints collected.

Portugal Will Need Up to 100,000 Foreign Workers per Year to Fill Labour Shortages
In a bid to deal with labor shortages, Portugal needs more than 100,000 foreign workers. Such conclusions were reached in a study called Migrations and Human Rights, introduced by the General Union of Workers (UGT) earlier this year.
In this regard, the Coordinator of Migrations and Human Rights Study, Jorge Malheiros, said that in the context of low birth rates and an aging population, the southern European country will need 50,000 to 100,000 workers regularly over time.
In a bid to attract a larger number of workers from other countries, the government of Portugal previously introduced new strategies that would accelerate the legal entry and stay of foreigners in Portugal for employment purposes.
