Spanish Citizenship Consultations February 12-14
Luis Portero, an attorney licensed to practice in Spain and served as counsel for the Federation of Jewish Communities of Spain during the parliamentary process of approval of the Law on granting the Spanish citizenship to Sephardim, is returning to Atlanta February 12-14 for one on one meetings. To schedule a session with him, click here
When Luis presented at OVS last spring, he discussed the process of getting the law enacted, of which he was a major contributor, and presented on the steps involved in applying for Spanish Citizenship through this program. A copy of his presentation, including a detailed walkthrough of the process, can be found here.
Or VeShalom is proud to be a guide for you through this process. Please note that the program ends on October 1, 2019, so it’s best to get started right away. To find out more and begin the process, click here.
