AIMA releases form for permanent residence permit applications in Portugal
AIMA has added a specific option to its contact form (contactenos.aima.gov.pt) for scheduling appointments for permanent residence permits under Article 80. To qualify, applicants must have held a temporary residence permit for at least five years, have no criminal convictions exceeding one year in prison within the last five years, possess means of subsistence, housing, basic Portuguese language skills, and have clean fiscal and social security records. Applicants must attach their current valid permit and proof of five years of legal residency, such as previous permits, tax records, or social security history, and the agency warns not to submit duplicate requests.
Why it matters
If you are a foreign resident in Portugal who has held a temporary residence permit for at least five years and meets the legal requirements, you can now use the AIMA contact form to schedule your permanent residency appointment directly.PúblicoRead original ↗
