Portuguese citizenship by Sephardic descent enables individuals of Sephardic Jewish ancestry to acquire European citizenship under Decree-Law 30-A/2015. Established in 2015, this law allows descendants of Sephardic Jews expelled from Portugal and Spain in the 15th century to reclaim their Portuguese nationality without residency requirements, language tests, or renunciation of current citizenship.

Our comprehensive service includes obtaining the required Sephardic ancestry certificate from officially recognized Jewish communities in Lisbon or Porto, preparing and submitting your citizenship application to Portugal's Ministry of Justice, and ensuring complete compliance with all legal requirements.
