FAQ

Questions about our Portuguese Language Course

No — you can obtain a D7, D8, D2, or Golden Visa without any Portuguese. But you will need A2-level Portuguese for citizenship (and it's now paired with a civic knowledge test under the 2026 law), and daily life, AIMA appointments, and integration are far easier with basics. Our course takes you from zero to A2.

A2 level (elementary), proven via the CIPLE exam or an approved course certificate. The 2026 Nationality Law also added a test on Portuguese culture, history, and civic rights. Our A1–A2 course teaches exclusively European Portuguese and aligns with the CIPLE exam content required for citizenship and permanent residency.

European Portuguese. Pronunciation, vocabulary, and some grammar differ significantly from Brazilian Portuguese, and the citizenship exam, AIMA interactions, and daily life in Portugal all use the European variant. Our course is built and voiced entirely in European Portuguese by native teachers.

Most students complete A1 and A2 combined in 3–5 months studying a few hours per week. The course is fully self-paced with lifetime access — no deadlines, no expiry — and works on desktop, tablet, and mobile so you can learn before and after your move.

Yes — the course is included free with the Complete Visa Package (€1,595) and Complete Visa Package Plus (€2,810). Purchased standalone, it costs €297. Starting the language early is the single best preparation for the A2 citizenship requirement.

Yes. The A2 content aligns with the CIPLE exam required for Portuguese citizenship. Completing A1 and A2 gives you a strong foundation; we recommend adding speaking practice before the exam, and we provide guidance on exam registration and format.

Yes. The course runs on any device with an internet connection — desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone — and syncs your progress, so you can switch devices and continue exactly where you left off.
