Organic Law no. 1/2026, of 18 May, says that attribution under paragraph (d) depends on paragraphs (c) to (h) of article 6(1).
That covers Portuguese language and culture, history and national symbols, rights and duties and the organization of the State, a declaration of adherence to the rule of law, criminal record and security limits, and UN or EU restrictive measures.
A national of a Portuguese-speaking country is presumed to meet only the language part. Culture, history and civics still apply. The old A2 certificate is not the whole requirement.
