YOUR TELNO 1024 : PORTUGUESE NATIONALITY FOR RESIDENTS IN MACAU.

OWING TO OTHER PRESSING COMMITMENTS, WE HAVE NOT YET TAKEN ACTION WITH THE PORTUGUESE CONSUL-GENERAL HERE.

2. WE ARE NOT SURE IF YOU STILL WISH US TO CALL IN THE PORTUGUESE

CONSUL-GENERAL. IF IT IS CONSIDERED THAT WE SHOULD STILL AT OUR END FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE APPLICATION OF PORTUGUESE NATIONALITY LAW TO RESIDENTS OF MACAU, WE PROPOSE TO APPROACH OUR CONTACTS IN THE MACAU GOVERNMENT RATHER THAN THE PORTUGUESE CONSUL-GENERAL HERE.

EXPERIENCE SUGGESTS THAT THE LATTER HAS IN ANY CASE TO REFER QUESTIONS TO LISBON OR MACAU.
