Residency or Citizenship

LorieAnneC

Hi everyone,


I can't believe it will be five years in October since I arrived here in Portugal.  Now, I am wondering what is the process to apply for citizenship.  I have looked on line and understand the steps needed, but had anyone tried to apply on their own, or hire a lawyer?


What are the advantages of permanent (or extending my residency) versus citizenship.  I look forward to hearing the pros and cons.


Thanks!
