Indians in Portugal. Some facts.

April 27, 2024 at 10:04 pm

Between 2018 and 2021, the Indian community in Portugal, comprising recent migrants and those tracing their roots to India, has seen a notable increase, totalling around 80,000 to 120,000 individuals according to varying estimates. During this period, approximately 32,000 Indians arrived in Portugal, choosing mainly Lisbon and Porto as their settling grounds. This influx represents a significant segment, ranging from 0.76% to 1.15% of Portugal's total population.


Moreover, Indians have also dispersed into other regions of Portugal such as the Algarve, Coimbra, Guarda, Leiria, Odemira, and Rio Maior. Predominantly, the Indian community in Portugal is composed of diverse ethnic groups including Goans, Gujaratis, Tamilians, Malayalis from Daman and Diu, and Tamil Nadu.

The latter half of the 2010s witnessed a new wave of Indian immigration to Portugal, alongside individuals from other South Asian nations like Nepal, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. This movement was primarily driven by the demand for unskilled labor in agriculture, marking a significant demographic shift in the country.
