[00:00:00]It's taking around three to three and a half years to obtain the Portuguese citizenship, but we're seeing the deadlines increasing because a lot of processes are pending.

[00:00:10]They have the the IRN in Portugal really have a lot of pending processes.

[00:00:15]So at the current stage if someone asks how long did the last nationality process that we took in took it's around three years and a half, but we're seeing little by little the dead the the time frames to to obtain the Portuguese nationality increase. When I started working on this field, it took around eight to nine months to obtain the Portuguese nationality. I usually would joke about this, the time it took for the baby to be born and the baby would be the Portuguese nationality, but it's it's an elephant baby at the moment. It's taking three years and a half instead of nine months.

[00:00:49]So be prepared for the long way.
