Nacionality

Nacionality, as a legal concept, refers to the legal bond that connects an individual to a state, granting them fundamental rights such as the right to reside and work in the territory of the state, the right to vote, protection against expulsion or extradition, and the right to protection by the state.

There are several scenarios that can justify a request for Portuguese nationality, including: 

  1. Being born in Portugal to parents of Portuguese nationality
  2. Being born in Portugal to foreign parents
  3. Being born abroad to parents of Portuguese nationality
  4. Marrying a Portuguese citizen
  5. Legally residing in Portugal for at least 5 years

It's worth noting that, within the context of Portuguese legislation, dual citizenship is allowed, eliminating the need for the applicant to renounce their original nationality.
