To find out if you have Sephardic ancestry, you can go to companies that do the study of ancestors, according to the surnames of Colombians who want to apply for Portuguese nationality, those of parents, grandparents, great-grandparents and great-great-grandparents, said Javier Jaramillo, founder from a company that helps with this process, interviewed in El Tiempo.
However, Jaramillo assured in the newspaper that there are common surnames that already show signs of Jewish ancestry such as Aguilar, Andrade, Bueno, Cardoso, Castro, Costa, Fonseca, Furtado, Gomes, Gouveia, Granjo, Henriques, Lara, Marques, Mendes , Silva, Avelar, Bravo, Carvajal, Crespo, Duarte, Ferreira, Franco, Moreno, Mota, Macías, Miranda, Oliveira, Osorio, Pardo, Pina, Pinto, Pimentel, Pizarro, Torres, Álvarez, Barros, Cáceres, Cruz, Lopes , Machado, Vargas, among others.
Then confirm the connection with Jews from the Iberian Peninsula, the applicant must request a certificate from the Jewish community of Porto or Lisbon, capital of Portugal, and then submit to the Portuguese Ministry of Justice the application to obtain nationality.
The newspaper points out that there are several benefits that Colombians can have if they also become Portuguese, among them are:
- Work, live or move freely in Portugal or any country of the European Union.
- The Portuguese do not need a visa to enter 83 countries, including the United States.
