Portugal Citizenship Knowledge Quiz 2026

Since 19 May 2026, people applying for Portuguese nationality by naturalisation must prove, by a test or a certificate, that they know the Portuguese language and culture, history and national symbols, and must know citizens' rights and duties and how the State is organised. The official pages we checked do not yet describe the format of the new test, so this is a knowledge quiz, not a copy of an official exam. It covers the new rules, the Constitution, the institutions, the symbols and key moments of Portuguese history.

Co warto wiedzieć przed egzaminem

Lei Orgânica n.º 1/2026 changed the Nationality Law. It was published on 18 May 2026 and entered into force the next day.
For naturalisation you now need at least 7 years of legal residence if you are a citizen of an EU country or a Portuguese-speaking country, or 10 years for other nationals.
Applicants must prove, by test or certificate, sufficient knowledge of the Portuguese language and culture, history and national symbols, and must know the fundamental rights and duties of citizens and the political organisation of the State.
Applicants must also make a solemn declaration that they adhere to the principles of the democratic State based on the rule of law, and be able to support themselves.
The law gave the Government 90 days to update the Nationality Regulation, where the details of proof are set. The official pages we checked do not yet give the test's format, number of questions or pass mark.
Applications already pending on 19 May 2026 are decided under the old version of the law.

Najczęściej zadawane pytania

Is there a citizenship test in Portugal?

The 2026 law says naturalisation applicants must prove, through a test or a certificate, knowledge of the Portuguese language and culture, history and national symbols, plus knowledge of citizens' rights and duties and the political organisation of the State. The official pages we checked do not yet describe the test's format, so check the IRN and justica.gov.pt before you apply.

How many years must I live in Portugal to apply for citizenship?

Under the rules in force since 19 May 2026, at least 7 years of legal residence for EU citizens and nationals of Portuguese-speaking countries, and 10 years for everyone else. Separate periods of legal residence can be added together within limits set by law.

Do the new rules apply to my application?

Applications that were already pending when the law entered into force on 19 May 2026 are decided under the previous version of the law. New applications follow the 2026 rules.

Can I get Portuguese nationality through marriage?

Yes. A foreign national married for more than 3 years to a Portuguese citizen can acquire nationality by declaration. For a de facto union of more than 3 years, a court must first recognise the union.

How is this quiz scored?

Our practice sets have 25 questions and we suggest aiming for 80% (20 correct). This is our own study target, not an official pass mark.
