Immigrants, why Portugal?

Hello, the benefits of naturalization in Portugal:

1, high passport pass, more convenient to go abroad.

Immigrants with Portuguese gold residence visas can freely enter and leave 26 Schengen countries; More than 170 countries and regions are naturalized in Portugal and hold Portuguese passports and are exempt from visas or pass through landing visa.

2. Better welfare and naturalization in Portugal

Immigrating to Portugal to become Portuguese citizens can enjoy better welfare benefits in medical care, employment, education and so on, and can also get unconditional right to work. Even if you don't live in Portugal all the year round, it doesn't affect Portuguese nationality, which is always valid.

3. Have the right to vote and stand for election

This is a citizen's basic political right. Maybe many immigrants from China are not interested in Portuguese politics, so they don't care. However, whether you want to exercise this right or not, owning this right is the dignity of citizens. If we can learn about Portuguese society by taking the opportunity of the occasional city council election, national assembly election and European parliament election, we can not only exercise this right that we have never really enjoyed at home, but also make many local Portuguese friends and better integrate into Portuguese society. You can even stand for election and participate in decision-making circles at all levels in Portugal.

What are the inconveniences of naturalization in Portugal?

1. You need a visa to visit relatives in China.

When Chinese become Portuguese citizens, they must give up their China citizenship. Portugal can conditionally recognize dual nationality, but China's nationality law stipulates that dual nationality is not allowed. So, if you want to go back to China to visit your relatives, you have to apply for a visa at the China Embassy in Portugal, and you can't stay as long as you want, up to three months. If children are naturalized, they should be treated as foreign children when they go to school in China, which is not only expensive, but also inconvenient. Many China people who want to stay in Portugal for a long time only take long-term residence and do not want to be naturalized, because it is inconvenient to return to China.

2. Naturalization does not mean successful integration into Portuguese society.

The Portuguese do not automatically think that a naturalized foreigner will be the same as the Portuguese from now on. Naturalization is only a change of identity, but the face of China people will not change. Moreover, it is not easy for people who study Portuguese as adults to speak Portuguese as pure as Portuguese, and their thinking mode cannot become pure Portuguese.
