How to Recognize Your French Citizenship

If you are a child, grandchild, or great-grandchild of a French citizen, you may be eligible to apply for French citizenship.

It is important to know that the claim can only be made if the family member (your grandfather, grandmother, great-grandfather, or great-grandmother) has a connection with France that does not exceed 50 years.

Additionally, you must demonstrate knowledge of the French language and the country’s culture.

How to Obtain French Citizenship?

Alpha Citizenship

The main ways to obtain French citizenship are:

  • By decree (through marriage or kinship); and

  • Through naturalization (subject to various conditions, such as time spent in French territory).

French nationality or citizenship has been considered one of the most advantageous in the world for years. According to the Quality of Nationality Index (QNI), France ranks ahead of other countries due to factors such as stability, freedom, economic power, and human development observed in the country.

This means that if you are eligible, you will inherit one of the strongest passports in the world, providing you with many benefits. But remember, not everything is perfect, and the QNI is a status that can change as citizens observe political movements they disagree with. Loving France when you travel there once a year is one thing; continuing to love it when choosing to live in the country is another.

Advantages of French Citizenship

Becoming a French citizen brings several advantages. First of all, you do not have to renounce your original Brazilian citizenship, allowing you to enjoy the best of both worlds. For example, you can maintain properties, investments, and businesses in Brazil as a native, and the same applies in France.

Being a Franco-Brazilian citizen will also allow you to hold two passports. With the Brazilian passport, you benefit from the advantages of traveling freely within Mercosur and several other countries without needing a visa for France.

With the French document, you can live, travel, and reside in European countries without worrying about the 90-day limit that applies to those entering Schengen Area countries with a Brazilian passport.

Being a French citizen also guarantees the possibility to work and contribute to the country’s social security system, so that, if you choose, you can retire (after age 64) under the French social security.

If having children is in your plans, once you are a French citizen, this citizenship will also be passed on to the child.

Finally, the ability to choose where to live, work, or retire legally in more than one country offers priceless flexibility.

Economic or political situations in Brazil can fluctuate greatly over the years, and having the opportunity to live in France (or any European country) is a luxury I consider extremely valuable.
