Portuguese nationality application
Applications for Portuguese nationality have multiplied due to Portugal’s strong migratory tradition and the phenomenon of globalisation that marks our times.
After obtaining the necessary documents, our legal services include Portuguese citizenship application proceedings and assistance throughout all stages until the final decision, with the right of blood (jus sanguinis) or the right of the place of birth (jus soli) generally prevailing.
Portuguese nationality law
Portuguese nationality may be requested at birth or during one’s lifetime. Portuguese citizenship gives individuals the possibility of settling and carrying out their respective activities, whether in national territory or in the European Union and/or the Schengen Area.
Portuguese nationality process
The Portuguese nationality process begins after the Registry Office receives the application. It is registered with the IRN, which carries out the appropriate verification and validation of the documents. If all legal requirements are met, Portuguese citizenship is granted and the new citizen is registered with Portugal’s Civil Registry.
How to obtain Portuguese nationality?
Among other situations, all individuals originating from territories that were under Portuguese administration may apply for the right to Portuguese nationality, namely: Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, Cape Verde, Timor and Macau.
