I have dual citizenship and don’t travel with my Portuguese passport. I do renew and keep my citizen card valid though. As a naturalized Portuguese citizen, are there any consequences if I leave my passport expired for too long?
Answers
There are no negative consequences at all. You will need to renew your passport when you need to use it.
The question of the validity of the document does not entail substantive consequences as to nationality. Passports can be renewed when convenient or necessary.
There are no consequences for not renewing the Portuguese passport as a naturalized citizen.
There are no consequences for your citizenship if you don't renew your passport. Bearing a valid passport is not a condition to fulfill to be considered a citizen of Portugal.
No, you don’t have any problem whatsoever in not renewing the passport. You can do it anytime.
