  1. Found your channel not so long ago (still abroad). As a portuguese, it is really reconforting to hear good experiences about people moving to Portugal, how much they like the culture and quality of life. Is is a life lesson for me, as i just returned from living in switzerland for 10 years. A bit sad honestly, as i left my country "searching for better", only to realize a bit late that i had already found it. I am never leaving!

  2. As someone from Santarém, who also goes there to renew documents, your pronunciation as usual is spot on. Hope you got to enjoy our local celestes. Based on eggs and almonds as you would expect from Portuguese tradicional pastries 😀

  3. Great practical video Liz, thank you. I think I'm about 6 or 7 months off being here for 5 years so all this bureaucratic stuff is really useful. I got you on the past years addresses, as I also moved around, but I think I'm good on that too…Hopefully you won't have to wait too long for your citizenship to come through and parabéns on your wedding. Cumprimentos. Ben

  4. Congratulations Liz. As you did the whole thing yourself, you have inspired me to do likewise, as I can get all the documents I need myself and I know a translator and a notary. Fingers crossed for the both of us

  5. Congrats Liz! Having gone through it myself, I know it can be daunting considering things seem to work on a case by case basis.

    One tip for anyone submitting a UK police clearance certificate, although there is no expiry on the certificate, in PT they will only accept the certificate if issued within the last 3 months.

    Look forward to hearing the outcome. 🤞🏼

  6. If you love the country like I do, you stop promoting it. The best thing of Portugal is the lack of people. Plenty of space. Keep that a secret. All what is worth anything is worth protecting.

  7. Liz, Ever since I did a course in Coimbra ,curso anual de língua e cultura portuguesa, I've dreamed of living in Portugal. I have come back to this idea, but now I am concerned as well about the health system. How is it for a non-citizen? Thanks for all. your insights on this. I love your vídeos!

  8. Parabéns Liz, the timeframe could be between 24 – 29 months, of course this will vary depending on your given situation. You will find out when you receive your 'chave de acesso ao estado do processo'. Boa sorte.

  9. I also applied in Santarém a few months ago with the help of an immigration lawyer, who told me that it will probably take six to eight months. If applying in Lisbon, it does indeed take more than a year. Also, technically police certificates are required not only from the country where you were born/have citizenship but from any and all countries where you have lived for more than three months.

  10. Hi Liz, is there any timeframe restriction for when you need to complete the A2 CIPLE exam? For example, if we still have 3 years before we are eligible for citizenship but are prepared to take the exam now, would the certificate still be valid? Obviously, requirements can change, but for now is there any risk in completing this step early?

  11. PARABÉNS Liz!! Português é qualquer um que ame a nossa cultura e se sinta parte dela, espero que continues a gostar de viver cá sempre — fazes mais serviço pelo nosso país que muitos políticos ahahah. Abraço gigante!!
