European passport: freedom in uncertain times
In a world marked by uncertainty, having a European passport is a form of protection and planning.
- It allows you to live, study and work in any country in the European Union.
- Ensures access to high-quality health and education systems.
- It offers legal security and more options for the future of the entire family.
Genealogical study: the first step towards citizenship
Many people are unaware that they may be entitled to Portuguese nationality because they are descendants of Sephardic Jews expelled from the Iberian Peninsula in the 15th century.
- A detailed genealogical study can reveal this connection.
- With the right advice, it is possible to gather the necessary documents and start the process.
- But time is a decisive factor: the sooner you start, the greater the chance of benefiting from the current rules.
