Hi guys!!!
Today is a very important day to me! I just came from the Portuguese Consulate... Now I'm a portuguese citizen :D
Due to my grandparents came from Portugal and Italy to Brazil(very comum in the WWI and II, many friends mine has european descendent: Dutch, German, Italian, Swiss.......), so I got the chance to get a citizenship and I did... For my future plans it will be extremely necessary!
Not even my car being scratched out by a bricklayer that is working on my building made my day grey...
I just feel like dancing (http://216.211.140.132/Smileys/Lots_O_Smileys/cool01.gif)
Just want to share with you guys!! :drink:

Hehe, that would require some kind of gathering, and this forum is notoriously horrible at doing this. Maybe you will buck the trend, though!!

Fernando, I was born in Sweden to English parents and have lived in England for the vast majority of my life. I was looking at getting duel nationality a while back (mainly as I'm sure I could do some money fiddles, but that's a long story). One thing my folks said to me put me off though (and to be honest I never looked it up, but it certainly sounds about right).
I really want to move to New Zealand and one day probably will, but if me and queeny move over there and have kids, then we might have trouble getting themback into the UK if we ever decided to move back. This might not be a problem as that hat definately makes you look gay :P , but it might be worth looking into before you sign any paper, especially if you meet a nice girl abroad who isn't Brazilian (but hopefully has one).

I'm sorry, never been in Portugal (yet)...
I can ask my uncle, he went to the place where the grampa born: Arneiro das Milhariças... Believe also Lisboa and perhaps other cities... Will ask him for hints!
ToneMonkey, thanks for the part of the hat :lol:
I'm not guy but I don't have girlfriend nor any kind of serious "date" going, so I'm not worried about it, but I would only get a relationship if meet a really nice girl, what would twist some part of my plans, surely...
You said moving back from New Zealand would be a trouble because of the kids feeling bad in moving abroad, not about papers problem, right? But not sure about the money... didn't get it...
The biggest problem I think I would face if I return to Brazil after the try is: adapt again to that chaos, no laws, etc... Not sure if I have the chance to live in Europe I would like to move back, even more if I have kids while living there... Why would I move back to a place that is worse to the kids than the place I would be living? :D

Sorry mate, probably didn't explain myself too well. Currently, although being born in Sweden, I am English. I have an English passport and everything. However, if I was to have duel Swedish/English nationality and had children when living abroad in any country. Then it may be legaly difficult (or at least not as easy) to move back to the UK with the kids. I probably wouldn't have an issue getting back into the UK, but the kids may have to go through an immigration process as they may not be classed as properly English.
Now since you're not in a relationship at the minute, it's possible that you could meet a girl in Portugal and have kids at some stage in your life. If you did, but one day decided to move back to Brazil and take your family, then you might have difficulty as you wouldn't be fully Brazilian anymore and your family wouldn't really be Brazilian at all.
Dunno maybe someone else could explain it better I'm still in work mode. :D

In my case, I'm still brazilian and portuguese... If I have children, they will be the nacionality where they born and for what I understand I'll be able to get portuguese nationality to them (if it is still avaiable at the time, I believe not, looking at the wave in Europe against immigration)
Each country has it's law for nationality given to sons... I know some has restrictions about how many generations can get it, today portugal has no restriction... I have no clue about English law about, If I were you, I would get a look at the laws about it, perhaps your kids can take the English nationality, perhaps not... Some has restriction about male or female, as Italy... If the wife is Italian, her children won't be able to nationality (if not her children, her grandsons), if the husband is Italian, them they can get it...

yeah, that's what i meant :)
