Would anyone has been advised by your lawyers how children under 18 years can apply for citizenship?
The link to join a whatsapp group dedicated to ACP Porto Nationality group is WhatsApp Group Invite

Assuming they are still under 18 years at the point the parents get their citizenship they should apply on the back of their parentsâ citizenship. To do this they need to demonstrate links to Portugal. The most solid link to PT as advised by many lawyers is the 5 yearsâ residency. In addition it may be wise to demonstrate other links too.
That is a problem with this forum. Any post or thread more than 4 days old might as well not exist at all for purposes of people trying to acquire new knowledge.
Over on Facebook, the American & FriendsPT group maintains an extensive âfilesâ section which contains valuable information on many topics. These documents in the âfilesâ section are regularly updated. Of course, something like that takes work to maintain. It would be nice if we had something like that here for specific GV issues. Most members of the A&FPT FB group are D7 applicants.
We do have something like that here. Several people started Wiki pages on various topics but people find it easier to post a new question and start a new thread without doing any research, and as long as people entertain and respond to it, it will continue. It would be really nice if people would use the Wiki feature more because it saves a lot of time in the end. It just takes one person to get it started and others to update it with new knowledge.

@tkrunning, I know this forum software already alerts people when they try post a link that theyâve already posted in the same thread. Does it also have functionality to alert people when the question theyâre composing might have existing answers?
I mean how many separate threads about PT bank accounts do we need? 
Also should Categories like https://community.nomadgate.com/c/residency-citizenship-migration/portugal-golden-visa/22 have the Wikis that @portugalwanderer mentions above pinned at the top?
