This short clip from our Expats Portugal Online Town Hall breaks down the new timeline and expected delays to Portugal’s nationality law following its referral to the Constitutional Court.
Our legal expert explains:
• Why the Constitutional Court review adds at least 30 days
• How the Court assesses potentially unconstitutional sections
• Why the law must return to Parliament for revision and a new vote
• Why this process is likely to create a 2–3 month delay before any new nationality rules can take effect
This is essential information for anyone currently in Portugal, applying for residency, planning to naturalise, or tracking nationality law changes closely.
