Wait time now counts toward 5 year residency?

Of course I have seen several contagem do tempo. I already posted long time ago here for everybody can see it. See my old post:

HOW-TO: GV Automatic Online Renewal Procedure (Jan 2023→)

I would love to answer your points: Applying in person is NOT rare at all. It is actually common for the native portuguese speaking immigrants. They want to save money and they usually do it themselves. They often prefer applying in person than applying by mail. No one wants to take risk losing important documents by the post office. Moreover, as said, when applying in person, the officer checks all documents OK or not, then the receipt of submission is given. It feels much better and safer. …

I have seen (and have a contagem do tempo from someone via other forum) very recent one and it only says the begining date of legal resident. It does not even show the validity of the card of the person. This contagem do tempos was issued by Aima Faro in November 2024z I will not post it here and let the debate going first.
