About 89,000 Brazilian nationals applied for Portuguese citizenship within a five-year period - between 2018 and 2022

By the end of 2022, Brazilians represented around 30.7 per cent of the foreigners in Portugal

Brazilians represented 2.5 per cent of EU citizenship recipients in 2021

The number of Brazilian nationals applying for Portuguese citizenship has seen an increase in recent years, with the Foreigners and Borders Service of Portugal (SEF) revealing that Brazilians represented a high proportion of foreigners in the country by the end of 2022.

According to SEF, from the beginning of 2018 until the end of 2022, which represents a five-year period, the number of citizenship applications filed by Brazilian nationals increased by 81 per cent, with around 89,000 Brazilians filing a citizenship application in these years.

This represents a sharp rise compared to the previous years and suggests that more Brazilians wanted to obtain a Portuguese passport, SchengenVisaInfo.com reports. Data provided by SEF show that in 2018 alone, around 11,500 nationals of Brazil submitted an application for Portuguese citizenship.

The number continued to remain high in the following years, too. Only two years later, in 2020, the number of citizenship applications filed by Brazilians reached more than 20,900, and by the end of 2022, the total stood at around 89,000.

With the increase in citizenship applications, the number of Brazilians in Portugal increased, too.
