Are you fluent in Portuguese? Will you have an EU passport?

I do not know portuguese but will be getting Portuguese Passport . Portuguese nationality law allows those who were Portuguese citizens connected with Portuguese India before 1961 to retain Portuguese nationality. Acquisition of Indian citizenship was determined to be non-voluntary at the time.

let be be the first to give you 'the real talk' lets put optimism a side for a second....it will be very difficult for you to work in Portugal. Firstly they have a surplus of nurses that they export nurses yearly to EU countries that are short. Secondly you need EU citizenship to have a smooth ride otherwise your employers have to prove no one can do the job in EU before you get a work permit. Experience wont save the day l know many Portuguese nurses with a tonne of experience who wait a while to get a job in their country. But with all that said no one knows enough to be a pessimist including myself so by all means give it a try and l wish you good luck!
