I’m trying to see a pattern on how biometric appointment dates are being set.
Two theories are:
- Those citizens of countries without free travel to Portugal without a visa are getting later appointments to provide time to apply for a visa.
- Applicants with dependents are being processed first as (my guess) the primary applicant needs to first be approved before dependents get a biometric. Because of the 2 step process family primary investors are getting bio appointments first so they can wrap up the backlog sooner.
I welcome any data to support or challenge the hypothesis or your own theory.
