Summary: 

The National Centers for Immigrant Support were created in 2004 to address some of the challenges faced by immigrants in their integration process in Portugal. Due to the cultural differences, differences in the society, differences in the legal system and the number of different services to which the immigrants have to access led to the creation of a center that would bring together in the same space all different services, institutions and offices available to immigrants.
