GPC Consulting

Portuguese nationality rules changed in 2026.
But this does not mean that foreigners automatically lost the possibility to apply.
What changed is the level of analysis required.

For foreign residents, families, spouses, partners and descendants, it is now even more important to identify the correct legal route before starting the process.
Portuguese nationality may still be possible through residence, family origin, marriage, civil partnership, birth in Portugal or other specific situations.
The key is to understand which route applies to your case and which documents are required.
At GPC Consulting, we help foreign clients analyse their situation and define the correct strategy.

Portugal or Spain: which residence route fits your profile? 🇵🇹🇪🇸

Portugal and Spain are both strong options for foreign residents, but they are not interchangeable. Portugal may fit digital nomads, passive-income applicants, entrepreneurs and investors through several residence routes. Spain may fit remote workers, non-lucrative residents, workers and entrepreneurs, but its Golden Visa route has ended for new grants. The right country depends on your income type, tax exposure, family profile, business plan and long-term residence goal.
