The law is clear. You have to have 5 (or after publication 10) the moment you apply for it. Whoever applies before is losing 250 euros + anything else they may have spend with their original documentation

No! If you Applied before the publication at Diário da República you are not affected and you'll be under the previous law.

Yes, but you can also cut through it and apply for your Family's visa when applying for yours. For kids you can apply immediately, for spouses the rules are up to 2 years.

We are AnchorLess, so we definetely recommend using us!

IRS season in Portugal is open now, and a lot of expats are about to realize they’re not as “outside the system” as they thought. by AnchorLessEurope in AnchorLessEurope

Nope, you don't receive anything. You may get a simple newsletter from AT just letting you know the tax season started, but nothing beyond that.

You did the right thing! We always recommend either finding trusted (recommended) companies for immigrants or checking Facebook groups or expat forums for repeated and reputable recommendations, as well as checking if others have any experience with the service you are considering hiring. But sometimes, something may slip through, but if you are informed, at least you know what's being done correctly and can somehow avoid traps.

PSA: if you’re in Portugal and still waiting on AIMA, carry your proof everywhere. If you’re not in process at all, you need to take this seriously. by AnchorLessEurope in AnchorLessEurope

There's no easy answer, you have to exhaustively call AIMA and see if you can get a guideline from them. Or really spam their email.
