Ascendant of Portuguese resident in Portugal

For whom it is intended:

Foreign citizen who is the ascendant (parent) of an original Portuguese citizen, who has been resident in Portugal, regardless of title, for at least five years immediately prior to the application and provided that the ancestry was established at the time of the birth of the Portuguese citizen.

The citizen obtains the derived citizenship and can transmit the Portuguese citizenship to the spouse and common-law partners and to the minor children.

Requirements:

Be the parent of an original Portuguese citizen
Resides in Portugal, regardless of title, for the immediately preceding five years
Not having been convicted with a final judgement for an offence punishable by a prison sentence of three years or more, according to Portuguese law.
Not having been involved in terrorism-related activities
Has sufficient knowledge of the Portuguese language (e.g. by obtaining a grade of 50% in an A2 level exam), with the exception of nationals of Portuguese-speaking countries and some others.
Compile, among others, the following documents:
- Identification document
- Birth certificate
- Test of adequate proficiency in the Portuguese language
- Criminal record of the country of birth and citizenship and of all countries where the applicant has resided after 16 years of age
- Photocopy of the residence card in Portugal
- Proof of residence in Portugal

We will analyse and compare birth certificates and proof of residence documents, taking the opportunity to detect any inconsistencies in the documents that may impede the process.

Process:

Framing the entitlement and determining the best strategy for the client and their family.
Guidance on the issue and legalisation of foreign documents by the client.
Submission of the file to the competent registry/court/sector in Portugal and regular monitoring of progress.
Sending the final document to the client – be it the judgement, the civil registration certificate (birth, marriage, death), etc.

* In the citizenship process the client receives a certificate of the Portuguese birth certificate and has the obligation to request the issuance of the ->Citizen Card-> and in possession of the latter, if desired, it can also request the issuance of the ->Portuguese Passport->. Both documents can be issued at the Portuguese Embassy and/or Consulate or directly in Portugal. Ask us how.
