My understanding--which was confirmed when I met recently with the Portuguese Consul General in San Francisco--is you must meet four requirements: 1 - Have a grandparent born in Portugal (which means, of course, proof of the person's birth and your connection) 2 - No criminal record 3 - Three years' residency in Portugal 4 - Passing a Portuguese language exam
For me, only the last one remains, so I'm working on my Portuguese. I have the residency, via an affidavit by the president of the village in Pico where I have a home and spend "significant portion of the year" each year.
