Portugal, historically, is known for its migratory tradition. For centuries, the Portuguese emigrated to various countries, where they built their lives and formed a family. Today, many descendants of those Portuguese, because they maintain strong emotional and cultural ties with Portugal, are motivated to apply for Portuguese nationality. To these descendants, the Portuguese government may grant the original nationality. 

 

In addition to these cases, there are also numerous situations in which one can acquire derived Portuguese nationality. 

It is worth remembering that obtaining Portuguese nationality brings a set of benefits to those who require it. One of the main benefits is free movement in the territory of all member states of the European Union, since becoming a Portuguese citizen also means you are becoming a European Union citizen.

However, the process of obtaining Portuguese nationality is quite complex and may be slowed down by starting in the wrong way or by a lack of specific documentation. To prevent the process from being denied (for example for a missed deadline), it is essential to follow up with a lawyer specialised in this area who can help to obtain the nationality in a safe and complete way.
