The Portuguese government requires official A2 certificate for all residence and citizenship applications.
A2 is required for:
📄 Obtaining permanent residence permit (PRP)
🇵🇹 Portuguese citizenship applications
👨👩👧👦 Family reunification processes
What A2 exam tests:
📖 Reading comprehension (Compreensão de Leitura)
✍️ Writing (Produção Escrita)
🎧 Listening comprehension (Compreensão do Oral)
🗣️ Speaking (Produção Oral)
Important: Without a certificate from a DGERT-accredited school, your AIMA application will be rejected — regardless of how long you've lived in Portugal.
Don't take our word for it. Here's what a licensed Portuguese immigration lawyer says.
"Facultet School's A2 certificate meets all legal requirements for residence permit and citizenship applications in Portugal. The school is properly accredited by DGERT, and their documents are accepted by AIMA and the Civil Registry (Conservatória).
I have personally reviewed their certification and recommend them to my clients who need A2 documentation."
