I was told if one's application for Portuguese citizenship is approved then citizenship will extend to one's children. So yes, if your father becomes a Portuguese citizen you will be able to apply as well. I'm just beginning this process so you might want to get information from this link... *www.

My husband and I are naturalized U.S. Citizens (I was born in Santa Maria, Acores and my husband was born in Faial, Acores) and applied for dual citizenship, so that our children (U.S. born) would be able to become Portuguese citizens, which they now are. I was told that my children would not be a

I understood the same thing John Raposo did. I'm the great-granddaughter of the immigrant, so I don't qualify. My dad would have to become a Portuguese citizen. He's not interested. They don't have a bridge to drive his motor home/recreational vehicle there, so he's not going anywhere except the

I also seem to have misunderstood my local Portuguese Consul. He told me that I needed to be either the son or grandson of a Portuguese citizen in order to become a Portuguese citizen. I qualified and became a citizen; the process only took two weeks but getting a passport and identity card took

It's my understanding that the majority of Americans applying for Portuguese passports to obtain dual citizenship are children of people born in portugal.  They can travel in the 27 EU countries with ease, live there or work there sans visas and a whole lot more.   You don't need a Portugue
