THE PROGRAMME
Citizenship by Investment
Apply through a contribution to the National Transformation Fund under Nationality Law No. 07/2022 and Decree-Law No. 07/2025, subject to official review.
A clear cost structure
Separate contributions, submission charges and document fees, with services and payment stages agreed in writing.
A practical long-term view
Consider documents, travel and existing status alongside the acquisition of citizenship.

ELIGIBILITY & FAMILY
Applicants & family
Review family relationships, source of funds and current acceptance conditions.
Principal applicant
At least 18, meeting the background-review requirements and able to evidence lawful income and contribution funds. Submit complete and accurate documents.
Spouse & partner
The published family scope includes a spouse or qualifying de facto partner, subject to relationship evidence and applicable criteria.
Children
The general official overview lists children up to 30, but an April 2026 memorandum paused passport issuance for dependent children above 18. Obtain current written confirmation of eligibility and issuance arrangements before including an adult child.
Parents & grandparents
The official FAQ lists age 55 and above. Review the applicable relationship and dependency criteria against the case and current acceptance requirements.
Existing multiple nationalities
An April 2026 memorandum paused new applications from people holding three or more foreign nationalities. Confirm the current position before engagement or payment.

APPLICATION & SUPPORT
Application process
Conatus Mobility coordinates preparation, communication and the key milestones.
- 01
Consultation & written scope
Review objectives, nationality background, budget and proposed dependants, then agree the services and fees in writing.
- 02
Documents & submission
Coordinate identity, family, criminal-record and funding evidence, arrange necessary authentication and submit through the prescribed channels.
- 03
Assessment & approval in principle
Support due diligence and additional document requests. Conatus Mobility coordinates updates; the competent authorities make the decision.
- 04
Contribution & follow-up
After approval in principle, follow formal payment instructions and coordinate identity verification, registration, national ID and passport formalities.
Current official guidance indicates approximately 2 months for approval and a further 3–4 months to the passport. These are separate stages; preparation and individual reviews may add time. No fixed completion date is guaranteed.
BEYOND APPROVAL
After approval
Obtaining citizenship and using it afterwards involve distinct steps and requirements.
Citizenship & documents
Conatus Mobility can help coordinate applicable payments, identity verification, citizenship registration and document applications. Services and fees are agreed in writing before engagement.
Remote identity verification
The April 2026 memorandum introduced remote national-ID processing through video verification with the Civil Registry and Notary Office. Follow the formal instructions for your case.
Planning life afterwards
Assess travel, overseas residence and tax status separately. CPLP membership should not be treated as an automatic residence or work permit in another member state.
Must I live in the country?
Official programme guidance states there is no physical residence or relocation requirement during or after the application. Identity verification and document formalities must still follow the rules in force.
What about existing nationality and tax status?
Review your original nationality law, existing residence and reporting obligations before applying. New citizenship does not automatically update those arrangements, and a passport alone does not determine tax residence or banking decisions.
Approval in principle, citizenship registration and passport issuance are separate milestones. Check destination visa and entry rules before travel.
QUESTIONS & CLARITY
Questions & clarity
Confirm the important details before deciding.
What should be confirmed before signing?
Confirm the contracting party, included family members, itemised fees and payment accounts, identity-verification and attendance arrangements, and treatment of fees following refusal or early termination in writing.
When can I expect a passport?
Current official guidance separates approval, approximately 2 months, from post-approval issuance, approximately 3–4 months. Approval time is not the full time to a passport. Documents, checks and issuance arrangements affect individual progress.
Can adult children be included?
The general age limit alone is insufficient. The April 2026 notice paused passport issuance for dependent children above 18. No later primary document clearly lifting that measure was located in this review; confirm current rules and case feasibility first.

Can family members be added after approval?
The programme provides for later inclusion of eligible family members. The fees and checks differ from the initial application and must be assessed separately at the time.
What happens to fees after refusal or early termination?
Distinguish incurred review, document and service costs from the rules applying to contributions. Agree refundable amounts, deductions and procedures before engagement; a blanket full refund is not promised.
