Hi Max,

It will be extremely difficult to have a hold on AIMA probabbly until June. All the visas are valid until then as per the Decreto-Lei n.º 109/2023, de 24 de novembro

Okay. So what happens if the visa expires after 25 November 2023, and it's impossible to make the phone appointment given the current state of this pseudo-restructuring of SEF?...

@MJ INSO

That is only for renewals now at IRN. And even so, there have been no appointments.

@JohnnyPT

"Os documentos e vistos relativos à permanência em território nacional, cuja validade expire a partir da data de entrada em vigor do presente decreto-lei ou nos 15 dias imediatamente anteriores"

A partir de 24 de Janeiro e nos 15 dias imediatamente anteriores, meaning that all visas expiring after the 24 are valid until June.
