Portugal’s New Nationality Law: Fast-Tracking the 5-Year Path to Citizenship
We are excited to share news that will significantly benefit your journey to Portuguese citizenship.
Portugal amended its nationality law on Friday last week.
Previously, the required five-year period for citizenship eligibility began after residency approval. Now, it starts from the date of residency application.
In practice, this means that golden visa applicants become eligible for citizenship about 1-2 earlier than they otherwise would.
The main paths to residency leading to citizenship with minimal stay/visit requirements include:
- Investment in funds: An investment of 500,000 euros, plus fees.
- University donation: A total donation of 170,000 euros, including all fees.
In 2023 alone, our team has successfully assisted over 50 American clients toward their goal of obtaining Portuguese residency.
With our unparalleled expertise in Portuguese residency options tailored for American applicants, we are uniquely positioned to assist you in this journey.
Interested in exploring these opportunities further?
Simply contact us, and we’ll arrange a phone call or a Zoom meeting at your convenience to discuss your pathway to Portuguese residency and citizenship.
We are looking forward to assisting you.
