Portugal has implemented a law, often referred to as the 'burqa law', that prohibits the concealment of the face in public spaces. This includes public roads and other open-to-the-public places. The law imposes fines of up to €3,000 for those who cover their face, with exceptions for health, professional, artistic, or climatic reasons. Those who force others to cover their face can face up to two years in prison or a fine of up to 240 days, increased by a third if the victim is a minor.
