Portugal tightens citizenship rules/Changes requirements for foreigners

Portugal has announced a tightening of its immigration and naturalization laws, including doubling the minimum period of legal residence required for most foreigners to apply for citizenship to 10 years.

Individuals from Portuguese-speaking countries such as Brazil and Angola will face a seven-year wait to obtain citizenship, while those from other countries must wait 10 years.

Cabinet Minister António Leitão Amaro justified the measure on Monday by citing the requirement of an effective bond, of belonging to the national community.

"We are significantly strengthening the requirements for access to citizenship, naturalization, in accordance with the guidelines that we had already included in the government program," the Minister said./CNA
