I’ve reached to my lawyer to confirm that this doesn’t represent a change to the process for ARI renewals. I am pretty sure it doesn’t, but it does give at least a hint that they are working toward clearing the queue based on an oldest-first approach. I will update if I hear something from my lawyer; if anyone else gets an update first, please share.
There’s yet another new LinkedIn post from AIMA, announcing a contact form for simple changes/requests for replacement of lost cards. Anything that lowers overall demand is good, I guess, but obviously this is not a big step forward for us:
IMA has launched another 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘀.
This new feature is available on the Contact Form at the following link: LinkedIn.
All foreign citizens who hold a card/title can apply to AIMA by choosing the topic ‘Residence Permit’:
• 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝘁
• 𝗔 𝟮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗽𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗱/𝗧𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲
If the form is 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆, a 𝗰𝗼𝗽𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗱/𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲 must be submitted in the field provided.
In addition to these documents, and depending on the request made, it is also necessary to send a copy of the following documents:
That form doesn’t even work for me. I spent 30 minutes gathering all the documents to try and change my address and get a “O sistema encontra-se indisponível. Por favor, tente novamente mais tarde.”
