opened The Portuguese passport certainly a great opportunity for door Goans who are lining up for the past few decades to secure for themselves, not just a Portuguese passport, but a ticket to Portugal and thus to Europe in search of a better standard of living.
Goa, the smallest state of independent India was ruled by the British is not the case with the rest of India was, but by the Portuguese dominion over this land from 1510 to 19 December 1961 instead . During this time the Portuguese to Goa brought not only their colonial domination, but also their religion, their culture, their language, their cuisine, their way of life and essentially an extension of Portugal from Goa.
If Goans liberation achieved in 1961, there were many Goans who were eager to retain their Portuguese citizenship, which has become obsolete by the Indian army following the acquisition of Goa. All Goans were automatically considered as Indians and Goans these had applied for Portuguese nationality to flee to Portugal and to reside there, which their properties and structures in Goa leaving.
Meanwhile Portugal also India's violent liberation of Goa in the United Nations opposes and against him in these forums by the year 1975, when joined and accepted that Goa was an integral part of India Portugal. However, because Goa was liberated from India, it was extended from Portugal discretion of their civil rights to citizens from the Indian Goa, Daman and Diu, which were under their occupation and who tried this citizenship.
As such, the Portugal has to grant legislative citizenship Goans Parliament, would those looking for this status and formulates an application procedure for Goan acquire Indians such citizenship, if desired. First, the answer is to this was subtle of Goans and there was a trickle of applicants. But after Portugal part of the European Union suddenly Goan eyes and hopes were brightened. So the queues began at the Portugal Embassy in New Delhi in the nineties. Soon Portugal opened its Consulate in Goa and the queues simply increased and shifted in the Portuguese Consulate in the Goan capital Panaji, where people from Goa Daman and Diu flocked in large numbers to records and documents to meet the requirements in pursuit of a Portuguese passport and a ticket to Europe.
to seek the essence of this whole desire of Goans a Portuguese passport, is the fact that Portugal, which is a relatively poor country by European standards has become a part of the European Union and is entitled to enjoy the benefits who are entitled Europeans in this union. These include, without moving a visa in the other country and to work in countries like the UK, France and Switzerland without a visa must. The opportunities in these countries are known to be much greater than that in Portugal and the main reason for Goans is to apply for citizenship in order to remain finally and to be working in the richer countries of the European Union due to Portuguese citizens.
Goa, which in India's economic food from tourism and mining a relaxed tourist destination is mainly. Goans therefore do not have other business resources in addition to tourism and mining to take advantage in minuscule Goa. As such Goans over the years have preferred abroad in search of greener pastures and countries in the Gulf region, Europe and Canada have therefore been active travel of interest. Even cruise lines have to carry a special nostalgic place in Goa heart .. There are entire villages and towns in Goa, whose inhabitants are in cruise lines and it is almost a true dynastic continuity through the generations in the footsteps of their ancestors in the shipping industry.
This scenario was the Portuguese passport like a breath of fresh air. You do not need other qualifications other than having to be Goan and it opens up great opportunities for Goans, the other is had limited to menial jobs. However, note that in the UK, knowledge of English is an important part of the success. Without in English is fluent, life can be quite difficult in the UK in order to survive. Some Goans who have not been up to the mark, it found difficult and updated to meet these standards, to carve a niche in the UK. There is also a fair presence of Goans in countries like France, Germany and Denmark
For Goans Portuguese passport has therefore opened a world of opportunities for economic improvement and has infused therefore the pounds and the Euro Goan houses their default enriching back to live in Goa. In the meantime, to acquire the queue and the endeavor of the new Portuguese passport Goans continued with enthusiasm to this day.
