Q: I born in Lourenço Marques Mozambique which was a former colony of Portugal. When the war began my parents travelled back to Goa. In some people stayed back or even moved to other African countries. My parents held Portuguese passports at the time. Am I eligible to apply for Portuguese nationality ? I heard that I am not eligible.

A: No you are not eligible. Even if your parents now have their birth and marriage transcribed in Portugal. The reason being is that when the war broke out the Portuguese authorities asked all Portuguese citizens that includes Goans which at that time had a huge community in Mozambique and Angola to return to Portugal and many did. They also asked people who did not want to leave and continue living in Mozambique to visit the Portuguese Embassy and make a declaration that they want to be Portuguese and their children too. This was mainly for people born there or had children that were born there. Many people did not do that and hence lost their nationality or the chance to keep their Portuguese nationality. Many Goans returned to Goa with their children birth there. So you cannot apply for nationality if you were born there and do not have the original declaration from the Embassy in Mozambique. Even if there was a declaration made and the copy was destroyed or lost the Embassy would not have that record. Based on experience and information those who have tried to contact the Embassy and try and request to search for the record has turned out to be unfruitful.

  Q: I was born in Goa before 1961 which was part of Portugal until 19.12.1961. Why do I have to register my birth in Portugal? Does Portugal not already have my birth record since all born in Goa before 1961 were Portuguese Citizens and held either a Portuguese ID card or a Portuguese passport both issued by the former Portuguese administration in Goa?   A: No Portugal does not have a record of your birth registration and nor would they have of your parents and ancestors if they were born in Goa. The reason being that Goa was not a colony of Portugal as such. Goa was declared a part of Portugal. Basically part of main land Portugal. Which meant that all Goans born in Goa were citizens of Portugal at birth. Which was not the case with other colonies of Portugal. So since Goa was part of Portugal it was not required to register the birth in Lisbon, Goa had its own Conservatoria / Registrar. Simply put it was like another district of Portugal. All records were maintained in Goa ...
