Early Applications for Citizenship

[PTbound (A L)]

@tommigun

how can IRN do the ‘pre-assessment’ of the 5-year term of the candidate

I assume it’s not as simple as counting 5 years from the issue date of your Título de Residência that you enter (honestly, obviously) on the IRN’s Modelo 6.1 application form?

Presumably the online platform that lawyers use to file Nationality applications checks that date??

@Andrew77

First, it is important to observe that the current [online] platform through which citizenship applications are filed has mandatory fields relating to the residence permit – number and validity - data that those without cards do not have - so the submission of an application under these conditions would always have to be made with certain abstract data or left blank.
