Contact Form: Family Reunification

AIMA has added two new options to its online contact form for requesting family reunification appointments, distinguishing between family members who are currently in Portugal and those who are outside the country. This system replaces the previous Family Reunification Portal for all new requests, though previously submitted applications remain valid and should not be resubmitted.

Why it matters

If you are a resident or have a renewal in progress and need to request family reunification, you must now use the new AIMA contact form options instead of the old portal; do not submit duplicate requests if you have already applied through another channel.
