Hi everyone, I have finally got a biometrics appointment with AIMA.

May I ask what documents I need to bring with me? What I know is the latest criminal record, which has already been applied. Besides, I heard that it is necessary to bring the bank declaration for the Golden Visa? But I don’t have its original copy because Novobanco sent it to me via email. Does this matter?

This is what you need for the appointment: SEF appointment requirements - #3 by tommigun

The bank declaration is necessary. Ideally at the appointment. Although they sometimes allow it to be submitted within 20 days, if you don’t have it with you. Push the bank hard (I had to!).
They need to be reassured that the money has been invested, and that the investment is current at the time of biometrics.

thank you. I have the bank declaration. But it’s just a scanned copy. I would like to know if AIMA will require the original one.

I needed the original - sent to my lawyers, and thereafter to SEF/AIMA.

I think that all of the responses (and link) were to AIMA appointments before the new procedure. Assuming you received your appointment after submitting refreshed documents, this may or may not be applicable.
