[News] New Developments in Portuguese Nationality Law: 2 Key Details
On April 1, 2026, local time, the Portuguese Parliament passed the amendment to the Portuguese Nationality Law with a majority vote (152 votes in favor: 64 votes against). The core directions of this revision include: • Change in the duration for naturalization: Generally extended from 5 years to 10 years; citizens of Portuguese-speaking countries can apply after 7 years. • Starting point for naturalization: The current legal residence period will be calculated from the date of submission of the residence permit application, modified to start from the date of issuance of the first residence card. The amendment will then be submitted for presidential approval and signature. WorldWay will continue to monitor the situation and will share any new information promptly.

Its appeal lies not only in the status itself but also in the Schengen access, EU development opportunities, and more flexible long-term family planning it provides. For many Chinese families, Portugal is not simply an "immigration choice," but a comprehensive allocation strategy that balances the present with the future.
