Hey @tkrunning - I was looking at Detailed view — Crowdsourced Golden Visa Timeline Database by Nomad Gate and there’s some confusion what “Final Approval” means now that “new process” folks pay their €6k at the Biometrics appointment.
Based on others’ new process reports, they move to “Transferido SIISEF” after paying their €6k. I’ve been in that state for 6+ months now, and am told this is “when AIMA starts the final verification, which can still take a few months because it requires consultations with SIS (Schengen Area Information System) and with the Government in order to check for criminal records in Portugal.”
…so that’s defo not “Final Approval” (generally “Candidatura Aceite”). The input form should make this clearer, because it’s polluting the stats.
