Your guide to Portuguese citizenship with RelyOn Relocation®

Portuguese citizenship services for global clients

Every day feels the same. Wake up, have breakfast, drop the kids off at school on the way to work, dinner in the evening, YouTube, sleep. On weekends, visit the in-laws. Barbecue, beer, football… and then it’s Monday again. Always brings to mind that quote by Morgan Freeman’s character, symbolizing freedom, hope, and the dream of a better life. And nothing feels better than the excitement of something new, unexplored, with the journey and achievement bringing that sense of fulfillment you’ve always sought.

Understanding Portuguese citizenship requirements

Understanding Portuguese citizenship requirements is the first step toward success. Discover who is eligible and how to overcome common challenges.

Eligibility criteria for Non-EU Residents

To apply for Portuguese citizenship, non-EU residents must first meet specific eligibility criteria. The primary requirement is legal residency in Portugal for at least five years. This can be achieved through various residential visas, such as the Portuguese Golden Visa, which allows for minimal stay requirements – just 7 days per year. Applicants must also be at least 18 years old and maintain a clean criminal record.

Common challenges and how to overcome them

One common challenge applicants face is the complexity of the documentation process. To overcome this, it’s advisable to seek professional assistance, such as the services offered by RelyOn Relocation®, to ensure all paperwork is correctly completed and submitted. The legal aspect of routine document preparation can be intricate, but staying informed about the latest regulations and seeking expert advice can significantly ease the process.
