Senhor Jose Colaco, Thanks a lot for the prompt response and clarifications but permit me to say some words. 1. How do we convince the portuguese authorities that certificates belonging to person A is true while that of B is false, problems in this world are many but very few solutions, and what should be the solution in this case? 2. What criteria should one follow firstly at the Portuguese consulate for nongoans who call themselves Portuguese Goans, here we are again , that means money has played an important role in availing such status to non goans by those crooks who work in the consulate and do not want to help the real goenkars, so back again Greasing plays an important role. 3.I wish someone like you could sponsor a ticket to my friend to go to paris and lisbon for whom i m fighting for to get the portuguese nationality. The rest of your contents is worth reading and indeed true, but finally you must agree its not that easy even though you are born in 1960 or before to secure a portuguese Nationality , its not so easy to exercise your right being in Goa by us Goans at the Portuguese Consulate, as we do not throw money or grease palms as the Non goans do, some can afford and some can't and its not our fault that we cannot afford all we what we are asking is our right. I know there are many agents like the one in Margao at Borda who has been advertising like no one's business wonder how many have been successful through him? If you go the official route you may end up getting the nationality after your death, if you go the agents route one leg is in the grave , so what does one do????? The only alternative way is to restructure the staff of the Consulate , change the old cloth into a new get new aggressive, honest polite , focussed, and above all helpful to Goans, there are many of such qualities but have never been given a chance to prove themselves , presently the staff in the consulate are very rude , not polite and they are all related to one another.
