Contact Form: Permanent Residence Permit

A new option for scheduling an appointment to apply for a permanent residence permit (under article 80 of Law 23/2007) is now available through the AIMA contact form at contactenos.aima.gov.pt. This channel is for new permanent residency applications only; renewals and EU permanent residency certificates must still be submitted via the Renewals Portal.

Why it matters

If you are eligible for permanent residency, you now have a new official channel to request your appointment; do not submit duplicate requests through this form while your initial one is pending.
