Citizenship in just 12 months?
The secret fast-track for Portuguese in Brazil.
Most foreigners wait 4 years for Brazilian naturalization. But for Portuguese citizens, a historic treaty changes everything.
1 YEAR
The minimum permanent residency required for Portuguese applicants.
You must hold a permanent residency (CRNM) and prove Brazil is your effective home. Temporary visas won't count for this path.
Dica
Owning a house isn't enough. You need proof of life: work contracts, school records, or business ties to qualify.
A clean criminal record in both Brazil and Portugal is mandatory. Any conviction could halt your entire process.
Do I need a language test?
For Portuguese citizens, ability is usually assessed informally during the process.
This privilege is based on the 'Estatuto de Igualdade', giving you rights almost identical to native Brazilians.
