Reconsideration of the Amendments to the Nationality Law

The reconsideration of the amendments to the Nationality Law, which were rejected by the Constitutional Court at the end of last year is scheduled for the plenary session of the Portuguese Parliament on 1 April 2026.

As a result of the Constitutional Court’s ruling, the Portuguese Parliament may vote to remove the provisions declared unconstitutional and reformulate the decree, or alternatively confirm it by two-thirds majority of the Members of Parliament present, provided that this majority is greater than the absolute majority of Members of Parliament in office.
