Hello,
I have Canadian and Irish citizenship. I am thinking about moving permanently to Portugal.
I know this is reasonably straightforward because I have an Irish passport (no visa required, etc). I have to officially declare my intention to seek residency soon after arriving.
Here is my question: Once I have made the declaration that I wish to seek residency, how many days per year do I have to reside in Portugal in order to ensure that my residency request remains valid? The final step for me would be to obtain Portuguese citizenship.
I am mostly asking because I would like to spend some time travelling to other European countries.
I have not been able to find out from any of the sources I have consulted what the rule might be.
Thanks.
John
