Frequently asked questions
The nationality law changed in 2026. Does it affect me?
It may. Organic Law 1/2026 changed requirements for several routes and there are transition rules. Before anything else, we check how the current law applies to your specific case.
Can the whole process run while I live abroad?
Yes. Citizenship files are prepared and submitted with the applicant abroad; we handle the Portuguese side and keep you informed at every stage.
How long does it take?
Timelines depend on the registries and vary case by case; no honest lawyer can promise a date. What we control is a complete, well-grounded file, which avoids the delays caused by requests for missing elements.
How much does it cost?
After assessing your route we send a written proposal with fixed fees per stage. Nothing starts before you approve it.
