Legal Support for Those Seeking Safety

Portugal offers protection to individuals fleeing persecution, armed conflict, or serious human rights violations. At Cross Borders, we provide legal assistance for asylum seekers and individuals in need of humanitarian residency, ensuring your rights are respected throughout the process.

 

We understand the urgency, complexity, and emotional weight of these cases — and we respond with professionalism, confidentiality, and care.

Who Can Apply for Asylum?

You may qualify for asylum or subsidiary protection in Portugal if you are at risk of serious harm in your country of origin due to:

  • Race, religion, nationality
  • Political opinion or membership in a particular social group
  • War, violence, or persecution

If asylum is not granted, Portugal may still issue a humanitarian residence permit in exceptional cases, particularly for vulnerable individuals or families.

Our Services

  • Legal analysis and preparation of your case
  • Support with documentation and interviews
  • Representation before AIMA and courts
  • Pro bono assistance in eligible cases

We provide clear, compassionate guidance so you don’t face the process alone.

If you or someone you know needs asylum or humanitarian protection, contact us in confidence.
