The status of your payment will switch to “Pago”, that is “Settled”.
In theory yes, the DUC status should change to ‘Pago’ before the card printing process begins.
The application status remains ‘Transferido SIISEF’ forever.

My law firm keeps telling me that the issue with DUC generation is persistent and they have been unable to pay my fees. I received approval in early Feb. Seems like some of you have been able to get past this. Not sure what to do but this is extremely annoying.
Do you know roughly when ?
I just tried and tried and at one moment it suddenly worked. That was beginning of April. Good luck!

Can I ask when in Jan you did biometrics ? We are on a similar timetable in terms of lawsuit and biometrics but no cards yet and are lawyers are not sanguine about getting them before the 90 day mark.
What is a supplementary GV card?
Can I please ask where you did your biometrics? Our timeline is similar, but with biometrics in Porto in Dec 2024, so we still have to pay the DUC. We just asked our lawyers for an update, and they told us it was too soon to expect anything.
Legally AIMA has 90 business days to respond after biometrics, which if yours were last December is any day now. Not that AIMA cares about legal deadlines, but technically it is not “too soon to expect anything.”

Congratulations!! There is hope for all of us!
I wrote my sob story here: AIMA Portal Error - Can't retrieve Golden Visa Analysis Payment Details - #83 by kipper_tucking0a
Consider yourself lucky that your DUC had an invalid reference number. My DUC had a valid reference number but is a black hole. AIMA now says it’s an invalid DUC and I have to generate a new one. But it ate my payment. Bank says they can’t reverse it. Bank says it’s AIMA’s responsibility to reverse it if their DUC was incorrect.

Wow! What a frustrating situation to be in with a department that is so unresponsive!
Best wishes for your situation to be resolved quickly.

Hi TP, me too. I paid the amount and it’s like lost in the dark hole. Don’t know how long it will take to get the money back. At the meantime I can’t pay the new DUC as the reference appears still invalid after 3 days…just a disaster…
