Hi folks, Could somebody pls suggest a reliable agent for applying for Portuguese Nationality. Would be most grateful Advance thanks. Jude ============ Dear Jude, It is refreshing to read that someone is actually seeking Portuguese nationality as opposed to just asking about "how to obtain a Portuguese passport". May I ask if you are 1. Applying for Portuguese nationality or 2. Applying to reaffirm you Portuguese nationality 3. Born in Goa and other parts of India or Born Abroad 4. Born in Goa before 1961 or after May I suggest that the term "reliable agent" for applying for Portuguese Nationality - is an oxymoron? Apply yourself! and directly to the Consulate. Expect two pitfalls (at least): 1. a merry go round in Goa 2. a distrust (in Lisbon) of India-issued documents. There have been many many many Fake certificates from India! here is a good article on the subject http://www.colaco.net/1/PauloNationality.htm good luck jose PS: I hope you realise that a Portuguese passport is not very useful UNLESS one is appropriately qualified to compete on the open market in the West OR one is independently wealthy. In the latter case, one will be in fairly good shape anywhere one goes. If all is au fait with your certificates etc .....you will find most Portuguese Consulates (in the West) quite helpful. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
