@grayface_ghost There’s a bit of a calculation here. I can apply for citizenship from the end of 2025. My passport is valid until the middle of 2026.

So when it expires, the application will be in progress. It takes about 2 years though.

A lot of stuff here is tied to my existing passport, so changing it is a logistical bother.

If the worst comes to the worst, it’s not catastrophic. I have a residence permit that’s valid until 2027, with a guaranteed renewal. The worst case scenario is that I’m stuck in the Schengen area for a couple of years until I get a Portuguese passport. If things get to that situation, my next step is likely renouncing UK citizenship anyway.
