Overview

In some cases, there is the possibility for the great-grandchildren of Portuguese citizens to acquire Portuguese citizenship, simultaneously or after the acquisition of citizenship by the grandchild who is a direct descendant of the Portuguese great-grandfather or great-grandmother. However, the criteria for granting citizenship may vary depending on several factors, such as the possible loss of the nationality of the Portuguese ancestor, possible needs to correct identification documents over the generations and the maintenance of cultural and linguistic links with Portugal. It is important to note that, for individuals from Portuguese-speaking countries, such as Brazil, proof of cultural ties or proficiency in the Portuguese language is not required.
