Language Test? Only if you are applying through any of your grandparents’ Portuguese citizenship.
How long does the application process take? We are licensed to use the same online portal that IRN uses, that reduces the estimated processing time. Therefore, you can be sure of one thing: it will take longer if done independently by the applicant.
Need an Attorney legal assistance? There’s this urban myth on forums and social networks groups, created by people that are not licensed to give legal assistance, and that try to raise doubts about the added-value that a Portuguese Attorney may give to your case.
Expensive Attorney Fees? We – Portuguese Attorneys on the market for more than 20 years – work with fixed flat fees, garanteeing there will be no surprises or unexpected costs. The Attorney Fees start as low as one thousand euros, depending on several factors. Ask us your quotation.
Renounce your current citizenship? No, Portugal allows dual citizenship, so you can retain your current nationality while becoming a Portuguese citizen.
What about your children? Once you become a Portuguese citizen, your minor children can also apply for citizenship, usually through a simpler process.
Apply without all the necessary documents? Yes, missing documents can be retrieved from Portuguese archives or other official sources. Professional assistance can significantly help in obtaining these records.
