QUESTION: Why do people desperately seek out a Portuguese passport ?
Are there plentiful jobs available in Portugal ? Is India so bad that
people want to get out, at any cost ?
Or is a Portuguese passport an entitlement to hassle free entry into
any E.E.C. Country ?
We have been variously informed, that there are 100,000 people of Goan
origin in Portugal. I find that hard to believe, one hardly sees many
Goans in Lisbon...probably see more Goans on trains in London !
