The big question is who are you flying from Istanbul to Lisbon with and is it a separate ticket from the one from India to Istanbul? If it is a different airline then you may need to exit through immigration at Istanbul airport and then check in for ... Read More

@Aditi Patkar @Aditi Patkar Yes I received the card about 100 days after the interview. You mention 40 days which is way too little. Most people wait 90 days or longer. We flew to Turkey via London with an expired residence card. The authorities in ... Read More

@Uhuy11 yes we travelled to Turkey and back via London Heathrow. Immigration in Turkey was not interested. They only cared we had visas to enter UK. The immigration in UK asked to see the AIMA documentation and then after some internal discussion ... Read More

Our experience is the automatic renewal only opens up after the expiry date. Different people have had different experiences. Some have reported it opening up in advance of the expiry but never more tahn 30 days before. You just need to keep ... Read More

@harish0489pt I think the short answer is yes but make sure you carry with you your old card and the receipt from AIMA saying that you have applied for the new card. Preferably translate the receipt into English. I think it is also helpful to have ... Read More

Sorry I don't know what you mean by the Portuguese office? Do you mean what documents do you need to show to the immigration officials when leaving and arriving back in Portugal? We showed our valid passport, expired card, letter/receipt from AIMA ... Read More

My experience is there is no problem leaving Portugal as long as you have the required papers for your destination. For example they may check if you have a visa for the UK if you require one. The issue some people have had is that they have been ... Read More

We did this from Heathrow to Lisbon using BA. We showed the AIMA letter/receipt showing we had applied as well as our old card. It would have helped if we had an English translation of the AIMA letter. They only let us on the plane after some ... Read More

No we gave up on the Brazil trip. The risk was too great of getting stranded in Brazil. We have a June trip coming up first to Turkey and then to the Philippines so same dilemma. We are probably just going to go for it mainly because we are just so ... Read More

@nimrod_1976 yes maybe not from UK but there are lots of other places people want to travel. I was told by TAP at the airport to categorically not try to do this when I wanted to go to Brazil. They said there is a real risk of Brazilian authorities ... Read More

@nimrod_1976 great thanks. I think the bigger worry is whether the authorities in the UK will let you on the plane. From what I have read some airlines are not allowing passengers to board. The problem is not so much the getting back into Portugal. ... Read More
