Meaning, your case is not a proof of 5 year count since initial online application?

Huge congratz on this.
Could you please share how you got this document please?

Is 10/12/2019 date of application or DUC?

Meaning you have been a legal resident in PT since December 10, 2019, so you haven’t yet met the five years. But we don’t know whether December 10, 2019 was your initial application date or some other milestone? I wonder if you are going to need a new certificate dated after December 10, 2024 in order to file an application after that date.

SEF Entry Date

11-12-2024. No new certificate required. I can use the same certificate.

It looks like we do have two different people in this forum with the same letter from AIMA, one says the residency starts from date of application and the other says it’s the date of DUC approval.

As AIMA’s replies seem to be inconsistent, I would think you better make a certified copy of that contagem de tempo, before giving it to IRN. Thus you will keep a proof

How can the bio date be in Dec and the approval date in Aug if the approval means final approval?
Confusing.

Just to confirm @Jay.Poulle, you’re pursuing a Manifestação de Interesse (MI) not a Golden Visa… correct?

@Jay.Poulle this thread is about citizenship requirements for golden visa holders, not for Manifestação de Interesse (MI). Are you a golden visa holder?
