Residency renewal and/or address change

@EstrellaGalicia,

Try the phone instead of email. Contacting AIMA is easier now, they're answering around 5,000 calls/day. Until recently they only answered 800/day.

Documents and visas valid and accepted until 30 June 2025:

Here you have some support concerning IRN and residency renewals:

In the 2nd link you can read this:

IRN services are contacting foreign citizens with a residence permit to book an appointment to renew their permit at a branch near their residence area. Online booking on the follow and follow App portal is therefore unavailable.

Johnny PT,

Thank you for the phone tip!

I've read all this information too. I just wanted to hear about real, in-the-field, experiences people may have had dealing with AIMA or IRN these days.

Regarding the info in the second link (Os serviços do IRN estão a contactar os cidadãos estrangeiros com autorização de residência para agendar a renovação do título num balcão da sua zona de residência). I wonder how they are contacting people due to renew (for each potential renewee, they have a postal address, e-mail and phone on file).
