Portugal Citizenship And Residency

[williamson1996]

So if I get it right, bring your family over once you've got your residency sorted? Sounds fair enough .

so if I move on a D7 visa, my family Can join me Later? that’s cool but Complicated .

I’m curious about the citizenship process after residency. How long does it typically take?

 

[samnichols]

You need to be a resident for at least five years before you can apply for citizenship. Plus, there's the language test and proving your ties to Portugal.

FIVE YEARS IS A LONG TIME. WHY SO LONG JUST TO BECOME A CITIZEN??

The five-year residency requirement is pretty standard for citizenship in many countries. It gives you time to integrate into the society and culture.
