Learn about Portugal's new residency requirement for future citizens and what it means for those seeking a Portuguese passport. Stay informed on the latest changes in citizenship laws!
We discuss how Portugal's centre-right government, under pressure from the far-right Chega party, has proposed doubling the naturalisation residency requirement from five to ten years, while immigrants from Portuguese-speaking countries would qualify after seven years. The draft law also tightens integration standards, requiring applicants to pass new tests on the Portuguese language and culture, formally support democratic values, maintain a spotless criminal record, and face potential citizenship revocation for serious crimes. Additionally, reunification rules are getting stricter, and the Serbic-Jewish ancestry route will be ended for new applicants.
