A foreign citizen who was born in Portugal may apply for Portuguese citizenship, provided that it fulfils all of the following conditions:
The parent was resident in Portugal, regardless of title, at the time of the birth
Has been resident in Portugal, regardless of title, for at least five years
Obtains derived citizenship, but can transmit on Portuguese citizenship to spouse, common-law partner and minor children.
* Note: Those born in Portugal after 1981 whose parent was a legal resident at the time of birth or illegal for more than one year have a different route to Portuguese citizenship. Please get int touch with us to find out more.
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.
* 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.
