Friends and Family Schengen

Dear friends,
I will be inviting family ] parents] for a short 1 month stay. I have filled the newer AIM modelo-4 Termo do responsabilidade [ hope we don’t need the older pdf ]
My questions are:

  • Whose signature is needed at the bottom of the form? the inviter [me] or the invitee[people who intend to visit PT] ?
  • Does this need notarization from Portugal?
  • Any other invitation letters needed besides modelo-4?
  • Any other docs needing notarization?

Thank you kind people.

I have done one recently, and here are my responses:

  • Whose signature is needed at the bottom of the form? the inviter
  • Does this need notarization from Portugal? Yes. AIMA requires the notarization for it to be valid.
  • Any other invitation letters needed besides modelo-4? No. This is the more official supporting document. A letter which may not be fully qualified is not needed.
  • Any other docs needing notarization? The inviter’s identification and signature in front of the Notary.

Thank you for the quick response. I really appreciate it. Two follow-up questions if you don’t mind"

  1. Does this signed modelo-4 need to be couriered to the invites or can I send a scanned copy/photograph of it?


Do I select Passport in the first section of 4 check boxes and fill in the details and then for the lower box enter my Portuguese Residence details OR something else?

Thank you :slight_smile:

A scanned copy (with the Notary seal) is accepted by the border agent. Yes - the inviter’s passport and resident permit are needed. This form is valid for the period of the inviter’s IDs.
