The government approved the Decree-Law that establishes the rules for implementing the Action Plan for Migration. Among other changes is the extension for another year, that is, until June 30, 2025, the documents and visas related to staying in Portugal are valid.
There are more than hundreds of immigrant cases in the CPLP (Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries) category, many of them Brazilians who came through the visa with the intention of applying for a residence permit and getting their respective documents.
The Portuguese authorities are moving slowly. Since SEF no longer exists and has been replaced by AIMA, the Agency for Integration, Migration and Asylum, residents like myself have had a headache simply renewing their residence permit. Many are unable to renew automatically online due to random errors, while the queues and crowds at the agencies are increasing significantly.
