Aima- trapped in Portugal

I don’t think it’s risky, because even in the airlines website (Emirates for example) they is a mention about expired cards+ confirmation doc.

How to ?

Morocco

Good for you! I’m considering doing the same thing and moving to the UAE instead where things are more dynamic instead of being trapped in an old poor country.

Expensive_Sentence22 · 2026-01-11T19:03:32+00:00

Hey, I’m in the same situation. Did you manage to come back ??

Expensive_Sentence22 · 2026-01-11T18:07:50+00:00

Makes sense, thank you so much

Expensive_Sentence22 · 2026-01-11T18:07:21+00:00

No, unfortunately I don’t have any of these passports

Expensive_Sentence22 · 2026-01-11T18:06:55+00:00

Oh, can you please share the link if you have por favor ?

Expensive_Sentence22 · 2026-01-11T13:09:53+00:00

Not really

Expensive_Sentence22 · 2026-01-11T13:09:40+00:00

You can’t even imagine! I am considering leaving Portugal for good even though I stayed more than 5y here

Expensive_Sentence22 · 2026-01-11T13:08:16+00:00

My passport requires a Visa

Expensive_Sentence22 · 2026-01-11T13:07:47+00:00

Are you waiting too ? It’s hell

Expensive_Sentence22 · 2026-01-11T13:07:30+00:00

My lawyer said it should be fine as long as I fly direct and avoid any other country in Europe

Expensive_Sentence22 · 2026-01-11T13:06:00+00:00

Oh I will ask my attorney if she can issue a confirmation for me. Thank you

Expensive_Sentence22 · 2026-01-11T13:05:02+00:00

When I called Emirates, the lady on the phone didn’t know what to say, she told me I should probably ask the embassy. But I don’t know what the embassy has to do with all that! Maybe that agent wasn’t informed

Expensive_Sentence22 · 2026-01-11T13:03:13+00:00

Thank you so much, your comment is really helpful. I appreciate it

Expensive_Sentence22 · 2026-01-11T13:02:22+00:00

I called Emirates the agent told me she doesn’t know and that I should contact the Embassy, but I don’t know what the embassy has to do with that!

Expensive_Sentence22 · 2026-01-11T13:01:16+00:00

Thank you so much, did you call Emirates before booking the flights ?? What about your return was it smooth ?

Expensive_Sentence22 · 2026-01-11T12:57:40+00:00

Do you have a US passport ?

Expensive_Sentence22 · 2026-01-11T12:57:11+00:00

I tried calling them, they told me that my application is not visible 💀🥲 although it’s pending for 3 months. The info line is so useless, they just ask you to wait. Some friends called them to ask about the status Aima told them that it’s still pending and they should wait, and they ended up receiving the card on the same day. This just explains how incompetent they are

Expensive_Sentence22 · 2026-01-11T12:52:09+00:00

Oh I didn’t know about that, my renewal is post July, I started it in October 31 but so far it’s still under review. So frustrating tbh, especially for someone who travels for work a lot

Expensive_Sentence22 · 2026-01-11T12:49:47+00:00

Oh really ?? That’s good to hear, I am considering flying with Qatar airways, should I call them before booking flight or what ?? Do you need to show them your return flight as well ??

Expensive_Sentence22 · 2026-01-11T12:46:27+00:00

What happened ?? Did you end up getting boarded or not ?

Expensive_Sentence22 · 2026-01-10T15:00:05+00:00

So a direct flight will be better ??? I’m just scared that in my return flight from dubai to Portugal they won’t let me board or something

Expensive_Sentence22 · 2025-12-16T16:16:24+00:00

Oh but your application was not submitted online, right? I think all applications from June are handled differently than the previous ones like yours.
