My application was submitted recently with the payment (618 euro) to AIMA but it seems it takes a while for the AIMA to accept the payment. It has been 3 weeks so far.
It seems the rest of the family can not get submitted till “the investor’s” payment is accepted.
Anyone else having similar issues & how long it has taken you?
Hello - yes, we are having the same problem. My husband is the primary applicant and our attorney submitted his application file on 26 May. My husband received a notification that same day via email that the government received his application. Our attorney sent payment to the government on 27 May, and tells us she has a receipt the money was sent and received. She says the issue is that the payment is not linked to my husband’s application. Until the payment is linked to his application, it appears there is no mechanism to submit my documentation as his spouse. Unfortunately, as we have now been waiting almost a month for the government to link the payment to his application, my criminal background check is about to expire. At this point we don’t know what else to do. So we wait.
I have read of other individuals experiencing the same or similar issue. (I think there’s another thread on nomadgate about it. I am new here and still learning how to navigate the site.) Some have reported resolution after several days or weeks.
Good luck!
I am in the same situation. My application was turned in on May 13 and no acknowledgement yet. My law firm let me know that they have many clients in the same situation. They sent a letter to AIMA on all of their clients behalf to see if they can get something moving. They are not expecting a response though. I am hoping that AIMA recognizes the error/issue soon. Please stay in touch so that we cen share what works once it does.
Hello! My application was submitted fee paid by the attorney on 4/4/2025. Our AIMA portal has said Status of Application: Pending Payment (or something similar) since then until just recently. As of 6/18/2025 our application status has been updated to: Application Under Analysis. So it seems the payment has posted after 2.5 months? And we 1 step closer to the next step
We are hoping to put my spouse’s family reunification application in ASAP in case there are rule changes this year. We will just feel better if both of our applications are in process. Does anyone know what the next “Status of Application” is after Application Under Analysis?
We just submitted on June 4th & “Descricao” shows as “Analise” and “Situacao” shows as “Emitido (Red font)” . The lawyer says our status is investor payment not gone thru yet and we can’t submit dependents yet.
AIMA Portal Error - Can’t retrieve Golden Visa Analysis Payment Details
Please read this towards the end.
Update to my earlier post: today the AIMA portal shows my husband’s application is under analysis. (Documents submitted 26 May, payment submitted 27 May, status changed to Analise 3 July = Progress!) Our attorney now is working to get my documentation submitted.
Congratulations! I haven’t heard yet from my attorney that this has happened for me yet. Hopefully soon since my application was completed on May 13.
Thank you. I hope the progress on our application is representative of overall AIMA progress and that you receive an updated status very soon. I am mystified by the randomness of both the problem itself (some applicants were affected by this payment issue, others were not) and how the problem is now being rectified (I would think AIMA would address applications/payments in the order they were received). Again, I hope you get good news soon, and I hope you will post an update when you do.
Me too. I will update once I learn more. Thanks for the support.
Still payment not accepted since June 4th & we are on July 13th. Everything seems to be stalled at least from my view. Hopefully others have better luck.
Glad I found this thread. I feel less alone. Haha. About the same timeline and still waiting for payment acceptance.
Update: After 3 payments to AIMA, the main application (finally) has been placed in “under analysis” status. Next up: submitting the dependent applications. Hopefully, these are one and done!
Hi, May I ask how long you waited to submit the 2nd payment? & then the 3rd payment? and how long after the 3rd payment it went thru?
When you make a payment, it takes 7 days for the payment to expire. You can then cancel that payment and request to resubmit another payment. Once you get the new DUC, you can pay 24 hours later. The process for acceptance was 24 hours after the third payment attempt. Main thing now is requesting refunds for the first two attempts. Additionally, we need to hope the payments for our dependents don’t fall under the same cycle.
Thanks, Let us know what happens with the dependents.
