Same, Feb 13, no news
No news either. Jan. 14 (Cascais).
So far, there are only two entries on the spreadsheet that indicate they have received their cards following a January 2026 appointment.
On a poll yesterday in a Telegram group chat - including some unknown overlap w/the spreadsheet - it’s 0/57.
57 people waiting and 0 cards.
Hell’s bells
So many of us in the same boat. Thanks for sharing. There’s some comfort in numbers.
FWIW, our lawyers said that they are starting to receive residency permits for applicants who had biometrics appointments approximately one year ago. Nothing from the large batch of biometrics appointments this year (yet), but I view the issuance of permits to be a positive development.
Seems to track. I am one of the first of the new batch at the start of this year and got application approval last week. Lawyer has said others around my date are getting approvals as well. Seem to be clearing out the cards for the old biometrics and then onto the first of the new wave
Card received: July 2026 - Issued Dec 2025 but had been sitting at Lisbon AIMA. Found out when reentering Portugal from the US and was advised by the border agent. My lawyer had no idea.
