The process of acquiring Portuguese nationality begins with expressing an interest through a formal application. This application is typically made to Portugal's Conservatória dos Registos Centrais (Central Registry Office). The applicant must provide a variety of documents, including proof of legal residency in Portugal and Expression of interest for a specified period, usually five years, but it can be shortened under certain circumstances, such as marriage to a Portuguese citizen or being of Portuguese descent. The process also involves demonstrating knowledge of the Portuguese language and integration into Portuguese society. Once the application is submitted, the processing time can vary, but applicants should be prepared for a decision for several months to over a year. Successful applicants are then invited to take an oath of allegiance to Portugal, marking the final step in obtaining Portuguese nationality.
