Take the first step towards your Portuguese nationality in 2024

With only two months to the end of 2024, the ideal moment to take the first step towards your international mobility through application for Portuguese nationality It's now! If you want to secure dual citizenship for yourself and your family, it's essential to take action to make the most of the remaining time.
If you have parents, grandparents or great-grandparents born in Portugal, can apply for nationality directly based on direct descent. This process is different from the Sephardic way, which requires a genealogical investigation to locate Sephardic Jewish ancestors in your family tree.
Why start now?
- End of the year: As the end of year recess approaches, many processes tend to slow down and requests made at the beginning of the year may take even longer to be processed.
- Regulation of the Law: Although the rule that requires 3 years of residency for nationality via Sephardic means is not yet in force, this may change at any time with the publication of the regulation. Take advantage while you can still apply without this requirement.

Our team of experts is ready to help you analyze your case in a personalized way and guide you on the best path to guarantee your citizenship, whether through direct descent or through Sephardic means. Don't put off until 2025 what you can start now.
