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.

常见问题

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.
