  • Nationality by residence, marriage or descent
  • Gathering and organising documents
  • Legalisation and regularisation of foreign nationals
  • Support through the process to decision

Frequently asked questions

Am I entitled to Portuguese nationality?

How long does the process take?
It varies with the route and the documentation. We prepare a complete application to avoid delays and follow it through to the decision.
