AIMA Appointment 15th October

samwilliams20

Hi,


Would anyone be able to issue some advice.


I received by Visa from the Portuguese Embassy in London in June with a pre booked appointment for 15th October in Porto.


So I attended my appointment Tuesday at AIMA, I gave them all of my Documents, They took my Picture, Finger Prints, Signature etc and Paid the fees that were due (178€).


I was then given a receipt for payment and also a document labelled ‘Recibo Comprovativo De Pedido De’ with my photo, name, DOB, where I’m from and address of my house in Portugal where I will be living.


The lady at the end of the meeting said all is done and I will receive my card in upto 3months time.


Would somebody be able to confirm if that’s me done now? Have I been approved?


thanks

Hi,


Unsure if it’s a different process but mine was a D8 not D7.


When I received my Visa / Passport back from the embassy I had a letter with my appointment

@Andrew Finnie I applied for a D7 and got my visa alongwith the appointment date. This is the norm, I am surprised that you are still waiting for the appointment. You would like to pursue it with AIMA, there is no reason to not give you an appointment. I applied last year for Visa and came to Portugal in Jul this year. I have received my Residence card as well.
