The proposed revision of Portugal’s Nationality Law, introduced by the new Government, has sparked widespread public debate on the future of access to Portuguese nationality. One of the most significant changes under consideration is the potential repeal of the current requirement for two years of legal residence for children of immigrants born in Portugal, a shift that could directly affect thousands of foreign families.

Speaking live on CNN Portugal, Andreia Morgado Duarte, Senior Associate in the Private Clients practice at CCA Law Firm, analysed the legal and social implications of the proposal, highlighting the potential risks of a legislative rollback in this area.
