Mandarin and Portuguese are languages ​​with very different structures, which represents an added challenge for the numerous Mandarin speakers currently residing in Portugal, for whom sufficient knowledge of the Portuguese language and certification of that knowledge are requirements for obtaining permanent residency authorization, according to current legislation.

Considering that proof of Portuguese language proficiency can be provided through a certificate issued by a private Portuguese educational institution, this course represents an opportunity for learning and certifying Portuguese language skills.

The language classes will be complemented by sessions on the Portuguese legal system, which represents an added value for the participants.

  • To assist, in the most appropriate way possible, Chinese residents in Portugal in carrying out essential citizenship tasks.
