Portuguese Passport for Goans – TEOR Myth

on Sunday, April 26, 2009

The Portuguese Consulate here in Goa insists some of the Documents for Registration of Birth for Portuguese Passport should be in "TEOR". However, the funny part is the Conservatoria dos Registos – Lisbon says the documents have to be translated in Portugues (Portugal) Language if they are in other languages.  The TEOR reduces the paper work since the translated version of the document is eliminated and thus saves the cost too.

Last week I called the Portuguese Consulate here in Goa for advice on the lost Birth Certificate in the sub – register at Margao. The officer in the Nationality department of the Portuguese Consulate here in Goa was clueless on any other options.  I can imagine how many people are sent back disheartened due to lack of proper education and knowledge to this officers at the Portuguese Consulate here in Goa. Obtaining Portuguese Nationality for Goans is our basic right.
