It's my understanding that the majority of Americans applying for Portuguese passports to obtain dual citizenship are children of people born in portugal.
They can travel in the 27 EU countries with ease, live there or work there sans visas and a whole lot more. You don't need a Portuguese passport when traveling in the EU countries since the Portuguese ID card (BI) is all that is asked for. The ease of travel within the EU countries was the reason I looked into this about six years ago. helen cunha kerner ________________________________ From: Nivea <[email protected]> To: Azores Genealogy <[email protected]> Sent: Thu, February 2, 2012 6:01:06 AM Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Portuguese citizenship Dual citizenship also comes in handy when traveling to countries that aren't "US friendly"...
