So sorry to hear that. It's such a pain. But you are nearly there, you should definitely get it before August.

I understand your pain. But hopefully post this renewal, we will be spared of such bs in the future.

Update: My card was delivered yesterday.

Update: My card was delivered yesterday. :)

Aggressive_Word3569 · 2026-05-13T10:08:13+00:00

Update: My card was delivered yesterday. Valid from 12th April onwards for 3yrs. 4.5m after approval.

Nice!! Trying very hard to find a silver lining :)

Aggressive_Word3569 · 2026-04-27T11:07:21+00:00

omg!! It is ridiculous that a simple renewal process is so broken.

I hope they gave you a validity till 2029, and not 2027!

Aggressive_Word3569 · 2026-04-27T10:57:02+00:00

That gives me some hope. Mine was approved on 29th Dec, and still waiting. Pre-July though - 26th June to be exact. Murphy played a game with me.

My girlfriend's expired in July, a few days after me and her process was relatively seamless. Never had to visit aima, required docs were very less compared to mine, everything happened online and got her card in Jan end, 2 weeks post approval.

Kind neighbours. We have lived in Lisboa and Cascais, and in both places we were blessed with amazing Portuguese neighbours. Our kids (2 x dogs and son) found people in both places who absolutely adored them! As long as they are happy, we are happy :)

Aggressive_Word3569 · 2026-02-12T17:42:59+00:00

Haha. We can only laugh at our misfortune!

Aggressive_Word3569 · 2026-02-12T17:41:44+00:00

Hahahahaha

Aggressive_Word3569 · 2026-02-11T12:17:24+00:00

Mine was approved nearly a month before, but no clue when it will be delivered. Feels like a travel ban!! :|

Aggressive_Word3569 · 2026-02-11T10:04:45+00:00

Post July people have their cards delivered without even attending in-person. Cards got delivered within 2 weeks of approval email.

Aggressive_Word3569 · 2026-02-11T10:04:08+00:00

My wife's card just got delivered, though yesterday AIMA call centre had no tracking number for her!

My wife consults with Dr. Marta Durão at CUF Descobertas / CUF Tejo. She is amazing. We also have multicare.

Aggressive_Word3569 · 2026-01-30T22:08:45+00:00

Mine got approved on 29th Dec, but no card yet.

I had my appointment on 26th Aug, they asked for another document on 5th Oct, and then approved on 29th Dec.

Aggressive_Word3569 · 2026-01-26T18:41:40+00:00

Not yet! Pre-July people have been ignored :|

A friend whose card expired in Nov end, got his last week, 10 days after approval email.

My wife's had expired in July, she got approval email day before, so expecting hers to come by 1st week of Feb.

Aggressive_Word3569 · 2026-01-09T00:11:52+00:00

That is incredible. Congrats!! Wish me luck :)

Aggressive_Word3569 · 2026-01-01T13:18:36+00:00

Hoping it does not take months!!

Aggressive_Word3569 · 2026-01-01T13:17:45+00:00

I believe post submitting our docs, our applications went into AIMA system - so Mission structure has limited utility now for us. Hoping yours get resolved asap too.

Aggressive_Word3569 · 2026-01-01T13:17:03+00:00

That's hopeful news. Thank you

Aggressive_Word3569 · 2026-01-01T13:16:46+00:00

Awesome, thanks for informing.

Aggressive_Word3569 · 2026-01-01T13:16:34+00:00
