Let me share my experience today at AIMA Setúbal. I received a contagem do tempo with the date starting from the beginning of my residence. I showed the law to the employee, but she said this rule only applies to Manifestação de Interesse and rudely stated that she’s not going to discuss or argue with me about it and that she had no other document for me.

It would seem not everybody working for AIMA has got the memo. If you’re hoping for consistency then I’m afraid AIMA (and Finanças, and…) will disappoint you
