How to get Portuguese citizenship? 

With over a decade of experience and a commitment to ongoing training and research, we have the knowledge and expertise to provide you with up-to-the-minute advice, so you can understand how to get your Portuguese citizenship:

Our Portuguese immigration lawyers will provide you with a full breakdown of all the requirements, including a checklist of documents and the necessary formats and translations.

Once you have gathered all the necessary documentation and had it legally certified, you can apply for Portuguese citizenship by mail or in person, with the assistance of a lawyer, at the Civil Registry. The process may take between 1 and 2 years, depending on the grounds for your application and the requirements for Portuguese nationality.

After a favourable decision is made, the Portuguese Civil Registry will register your birth as a Portuguese citizen, and after that, you will be allowed to apply for your official citizen card and Portuguese passport.

We can't thank Alex, Agustina, and Sofia enough for all their help obtaining our visas and our apartment. The entire process was daunting, but they walked us through step-by-step. We had a lot of questions but they were so incredibly kind and patient. ¡Muchas gracias!

I am now a spanish resident on the digital nomad visa thanks to Vera, Carolina and Pilar from Carbray. Vera and Carolina were incredibly supportive in helping me get together the documents I needed, meticulously spotting missing signatures and communicating clearly throughout the entire process. Pilar supported with my successful application for Beckham's law. Due to a misunderstanding in how long I had to apply, she took this on very last minute and even spoke on the phone spanish officials at one of my appointments to make it happen in time. I would definitely recommend. Thanks all 🧡

We worked with Cabray and got approved for digital nomad visas in Spain. A great result - we were so happy we did a little dance. Thanks to Ernest and the team for facilitating our move and family adventure!

I had a fantastic experience working with Nerea for help on my visa, and will be returning to work with her for future renewals. Carbray International has a very helpful and knowledgeable team and came highly recommended. I also highly recommend them, especially for digital nomad and other specialty visa situations. Gracias!

Carbray International has been extremely helpful in helping us obtain residency in Spain and getting our Spanish passports. The process would have been much more difficult (and possibly impossible) without their guidance. We cannot thank them enough for their guidance and patience throughout the process. I highly recommend partnering with them and tapping into their services. A special thank you and shout out to Alex Parfen and Sofia Grondona of the Carbray International team!
