BRAZILIAN CITIZENSHIP

 

After the Third Revisional Amendment of the Brazilian Constitution (June 9, 1994), a Brazilian citizen will not lose his/her Brazilian nationality by acquiring foreign nationality in order to receive full civil rights in another country.

Those who have formerly lost the Brazilian nationality can now apply for its re-acquisition by sending a petition to the Ministry of Justice in Brazil. For further information, please contact the Consulate-General - consulado@brazilsydney.org.


Foreigners living in Brazil as permanent residents for at least four years can apply for Brazilian naturalization. Application can only be lodged in Brazil according to standards set forth by the Ministry of Justice (Ordinance no.703, June 13, 1995).
