Do you know what are the possible ways to get Portuguese citizenship? And which one is the best?
There are 3 possible ways:
➡ You can choose to do it on your own, but it can easily become a stressful and complicated process.
➡ You can submit your nationality request with a Portuguese Consulate, but they tend to take a very long time to process each request.
➡ Finally, you can hire the services of an experienced lawyer who will assist and accompany you throughout the entire process.

⚠ Did you know that lawyers registered at the Portuguese Bar Association are the ONLY ones qualified to handle citizenship requests in Portugal? Always confirm if the person you hired is actively registered by doing a search on the Portuguese Bar Association website!
⚠⚠ Commits a CRIME of non-authorized legal practice any person who performs the acts of lawyers, according to the Judgment of the Court of Appeal of Coimbra on 19/02/2020 (case 78/18.0T9MGL.C1).
The Portuguese Bar Association has already pronounced itself several times on this unlawful practice, namely in Opinions no. 23/PP/2018-C and no. 29/PP/2020-P, both available online.
