The unprecedented and free event, with limited seats, will present the recent changes in legislation in Portugal, which facilitate the access of Brazilian descendants to European citizenship.
After the presentation, experts will be available to answer questions. There will also be a live broadcast on Youtube, on the channel of Martins Castro Consultoria Internacional, organizer of the action.
The CEO of Martins Castro, an international consultancy based in Lisbon, Renato Martins, assesses that the simplification of rules has stimulated the growth of requests for nationality. In recent months, the number of requests in the consultancy has increased by around 40%. Master in Law from the University of Lisbon, he projects that this trend will advance in the coming years because there are still thousands of Brazilians who are unaware of the legislation regarding Portuguese citizenship.
Currently, the law allows the transmission of citizenship to the second generation, which are the grandchildren, even if the ascendants, the parents, have not previously accessed the right. As nationality is inherited, it can be passed on to subsequent generations.
“Many know that the grandparents are Portuguese, but, as these documents are no longer in the possession of the families, they cannot have documentary evidence of the birthplace of the Portuguese emigrant,” says Martins.
