I see that on the AIMA website that English, French and Spanish does not need to be translated according to their guidance. https://aima.gov.pt/pt/temas-transversais/reconhecimento-de-documentos
I know AIMA doesn’t always follow it’s own guidelines and can make things up as it goes along. Anyone successfully submitted non-translated documents in these languages?
I wouldn’t take my chances.
Yes, exactly.
Advice I’ve been given is this requires the AIMA person processing your file to be comfortable in that non-PT language. So you risk slowing things down (even further!) if they’re not. Might get tossed back in the queue.
My only concern is on the renewal portal they have given a 10 business day deadline after the payment which I didn’t expect. Running tight on time. Anyone know if that is a hard deadline?
My documents were submitted for renewal in their original language - for example English for PCC and Portuguese for health insurance.
They have been accepted for analysis but I haven’t had my renewal approved yet ( my lawyer didn’t ask for English documents to be translated).
