PublishedEditorial policy

Portugal's Agency for Integration, Migration and Asylum (AIMA) has launched an online portal for EU citizens and their family members to create accounts and begin renewing their residence permits. This applies to documents that have expired or will expire by December 31, 2026, streamlining the initial application step.

Key takeaways

  • AIMA's new portal is for EU citizens and their family members renewing residence permits expiring by December 31, 2026.
  • The portal allows for online account creation and the initial steps of the renewal process, simplifying what was previously a queue-heavy procedure.
  • If your residence permit has already expired or is expiring soon, it is advisable to access the portal and create an account without delay.
  • This online step streamlines the process but does not eliminate the requirement to submit all necessary documents or attend a final in-person appointment with AIMA.

AIMA Streamlines Residence Permit Renewals for EU Citizens

The Agency for Integration, Migration and Asylum (AIMA) in Portugal has officially launched a new online portal. This platform allows EU citizens and their family members to create accounts and initiate the renewal process for their residence permits (VNJ).

This new online service is specifically for individuals whose residence documents have already expired or are due to expire by December 31, 2026. The portal aims to simplify the initial steps of the renewal process, reducing the need to wait in long queues at AIMA service points in cities like Lisbon, Porto, or Braga for the initial application. While this online step streamlines the beginning of the process, applicants should still be prepared to gather all necessary documents and potentially attend an in-person appointment for final processing.
