CPLP Visas: Portugal pushes for administrative facilitation to ease Doing Business

1:58 CAT | 24 Feb 2016

Portuguese Foreign Minister Augusto Santos Silva said that his country expects the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP) to facilitate movement between member states with “administrative facilitation” the first step.

Asked by Lusa about the difficulties of obtaining visas for businesspeople, one of the goals of the CPLP’s first Global Economic Forum, Santos Silva said that the Portuguese government “has insisted” that the forum, which is reviewing the CPLP ‘s strategic vision, includes “measures which facilitate the movement of business people, citizens and, in particular, students”.

“We hope that measures to enhance this dimension of CPLP membership will follow from approval of the overall vision,” the Portuguese minister said.
