Has anyone run into this issue before? My attorney submitted my Golden Visa application, but we can’t access the analysis payment details—the AIMA portal just keeps showing “Unable to connect to the remote server.”
Without this, I can’t make the payment, and my husband’s application is also stuck because mine isn’t moving forward. Apparently we can’t submit his application until mine is submitted?!
Anyone else experiencing this or know how to fix it? Would love to hear if someone found a way around it!
I have been told of this error as well and like many other things “AIMA is fixing it”. I am not submitting my application until this is fixed. I am also holding before I make the investment. I know that does not answer you question but I wanted to share that we are in the same boat.
Is this explicitly mentioned on the AIMA website, or is it something your lawyer communicated to you? We have all our documents ready, but they have a limited validity, and it was a lengthy process to get them all.
This is something that my lawyer told me and I am in the same boat regarding document validity. There are many on this forum who have tired contacting AIMA for various reasons. From what I see, it is very hard to get hold of them, let alone complain.
The SEF site has several problems with bad HTML. The site is old and unmaintained, and a lot of their HTML violates a cross-origin request policy that Google added into Chrome after the ARI site launched. Firefox followed Chrome in no time.
If you inspect the bare HTML (right-click for a context menu and choose “Inspect”), you may find a link that you can then open without issue in another browser tab of the same window. I was able to use this approach for accessing broken document download links on the ari.sef.pt site. There may also be some obscure way to disable the cross-origin enforcement policy in your browser, but those techniques come and go faster than I can keep up.
If this is all gibberish to you, find a friend with some web skills and ask for help.
The AIMA website is running .NET web forms probably based on IIS 8. If it hasn’t been updated in at least 7 years, a very likely scenario, it is a ticking timebomb.
