The Brazilian Constitution and the Portuguese page say 15 years of continuous residence, not 4, to be able to apply for naturalisation.
If the spouse of a Brazilian citizen can earn citizenship for themselves with permanent residency after one year of marriage, what is the application process like? I presume there are fees to pay, but is there a test, as in the naturalization procedures for USA? Do the Portuguese language requirements also apply to spouses of Brazilians? -- 141.213.135.68 ( talk) 16:12, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
I believe the information on dual citizenship in the article is incomplete. As far as I know, Brazil has accepted dual citizenship since 1994 provided that the foreign citizenship is acquired at birth, e.g. by Jus Sanguinis. That is the case for example of many Brazilians of European descent who, by virtue of European (mostly Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, or German) law, are also entitled to EU citizenship at birth.
If however a person becomes a naturalized citizen of a foreign country, he/she should in theory lose his/her Brazilian citizenship under the text of 1994 constitutional amendment. In practice however, it appears that Brazilian authorities follow a kind of "don't ask, don't tell" policy and, for the most part, ignore cases of unlawful dual citizenship. Basically, the Brazilian government does not officially cancel one's Brazilian passport in case of dual citizenship unless the person in question, e.g. a naturalized citizen of another country, makes a formal request in writing expressing his/her willingness to renounce his/her Brazilian citizenship. 161.24.19.112 ( talk) 14:27, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

The section "Loss of Brazilian citizenship" contradicts strongly the Portuguese version of this article. Which one is correct? DSchiavini ( talk) 11:42, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

because only need one parent to be Brazilian and not both, and the original wording of the article is:
a person born outside Brazil of a Brazilian parent, the article already meets your requirements. It states that if either parent is a Brazilian citizen, they can qualify for citizenship. Upsidedown Keyboard
