COMMON QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

The Portuguese as a Host Language (PLA) courses are designed to meet the language learning needs of migrants and to promote full social inclusion and cohesion. Their specific objectives include developing proficiency in Portuguese in the areas of reading, writing, and speaking, as well as fulfilling the language requirement established by the legal frameworks for acquiring Portuguese nationality, obtaining permanent residence permits, and long-term resident status (Ordinance No. 183/2020 of August 5, as amended by Ordinance No. 184/2022 of July 21).
