Experts in Obtaining Portuguese Citizenship By Sephardic Origin

We have successfully helped many people obtain Spanish or Portuguese citizenship.

Portuguese citizenship by Sephardi Origin was approved by the Decree-Law 30-A/2015 of 27 February 2015.

The aim of this decree is to repair the damage suffered by Jewish people who had to leave during the Inquisition on the Iberian Peninsula and to guarantee Portuguese nationality.

How can I apply for Portuguese Nationality through Sephardic ancestry?

The process of acquiring Portuguese nationality for Sephardic origin is divided into three steps.

However, at Marfour International Law Firm, in order to save our clients time and money, first we do a VIABILITY STUDY of their case to check their eligibility for this process.

GET YOUR VIABILITY STUDY DONE IN A COUPLE OF DAYS WITH US!

1. FIRST STEP: CERTIFICATE ISSUED BY THE PORTUGUESE JEWISH COMMUNITY

The applicant for Portuguese nationality must first obtain a Certificate from the Portuguese Jewish Community, which certifies their ties to Sephardic ancestry.

2. SECOND STEP: APPLICATION FOR PORTUGUESE NATIONALITY.

Once the applicant has received a Certificate from the Jewish Community in Portugal certifying their ties to a Jewish Sephardi Community of Portuguese origin, then the applicant can proceed with the application for Portuguese Nationality.
It is prudent that clients seek legal advice in the preparation and submission of the documents required for the application with the Portuguese Government.

3. THIRD STEP: OBTAINING A PORTUGUESE PASSPORT THROUGH SEPHARDIC ANCESTRY.

Once Portuguese nationality has been granted to the applicant, the Registrar of the Portuguese Central Registry Office will issue the applicant’s Portuguese birth certificate. The birth certificate will be mailed to the applicant who should take it to the nearest Portuguese Consulate in order to obtain a Portuguese passport.
