PCFG - Portuguese Citizenship For Goan 

Q: My father/mother was born after 1961 in Goa and is not alive but my grandfather/grandmother was born in Goa before 1961 can I apply ?


A: No, You will not be able to apply through this normal route as the person born after 1961 which in this case is father/mother needs to ask for the nationality by first registering one of his/her parents who was born in Goa before 1961. Followed by his/her own registration. Since the person born after 1961 i.e father/mother in not alive he/she cannot ask for the nationality. That said there is another process to follow called naturalisation. In this case the grandchild could register the grandparent and submit the birth document of the father/mother and marriage document as well But must prove that they speak and write the Portuguese language. A test will be conducted to prove this. There are other requirements as well. Which we could discuss should you have a situation like this and would like to pursue it. Please get in touch with Us.

  Q: I was born in Karachi but my parents were born in Goa before 1961   and moved to Karachi prior to 1961. My parents have Portuguese passports valid till 1978 issued by the Portuguese Embassy in Pakistan. They were issued after 1961. Does this mean that my parents are registered in Portugal?   A: No this does not mean that your parents births were registered in Portugal. There are few cases like this. What is understood is that the Portuguese Embassy did issue Portuguese passports to people of Goans origin. Basically they continued to renew the passport that the person originally traveled on to Karachi. These documents normally had a validity but it actuality they were not valid and it seemed that they would not have been able to travel using those passport and eventually had to either give them up or it lost its validity.

  Q: I was born in Goa before 1961 or born out side of Goa but my birth was transcribed in Goa before 1961 and I have my old Portuguese ID / Para Viagem Card / Old Portuguese Passport issued by the former Portuguese administration prior to 1961 and these documents were valid till 1965. Does this mean I am already registered in Portugal and that I only have to renew these documents? A: No, This does not mean your birth is registered in Portugal. It simply means the passport was issued prior   to 1961 and had a validity till 1965. This document is no longer valid for obvious reasons and cannot be renewed but is a very good document to support your the process of transcribing your birth in Portugal. Yes in this case your birth has to be transcribed in Portugal.   www.pnfg.in PNFG - Portuguese Nationality For Goans   PNFG CONSULTANCY Whatsapp: Portugal: +351 920 219177  Goa: +91 91721 69258 / +91 95526 86976 / +91 88054 35284 Address:   PNFG Consultan...
