## Resource

Portugal’s citizenship and immigration laws have changed—and if you’re considering moving abroad, these updates matter. In this episode, immigration lawyer Diogo Capela breaks down the new citizenship timelines, what changed for D7, D8, and Golden Visa holders, how permanent residency works, and what options still exist moving forward. We also discuss legal challenges, family scenarios, residency rights, and whether Portugal is still worth considering as a long-term plan. Whether you already live in Portugal or are exploring your options, this conversation helps make sense of what’s changing and what isn’t.
