Portuguese citizenship for those expelled from Spain and Portugal provides many advantages, including a local passport.

If your surname is not included in the surname list, you can use genealogical research to prove the connection. You can also strengthen the arguments for the connection by means of Ladino or Haketia control, confirmation of membership in a Jewish community outside Portugal which preserves the culture and traditions of Portuguese Jewry and other relevant documents.
