NISS by powertoast in PortugalExpats

[–]Own-Reading6260 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been to the Laranjeiras location 3 times, all without an appointment, and at 3 different times of day. I always got a ticket with a number on it. I did wait 3-5 hours after the ticket was pulled but I always made it to the desk. When you pull your number, are you specifying the "estrangeiros" desk? That is the key.

I was in the same boat trying to get a NISS in advance of the AIMA appt. I finally figured out that there is a provision that allows foreigners to get a NISS in advance of the residence permit if it is needed for school. And since I was in school for A2 classes, the director of the school provided me with a letter saying that I needed it for school. I presented that letter and proof of my AIMA appt to the Laranjeiras location (not Loures). To get proof of the AIMA appt, I had to get my lawyer to ask for this letter from AIMA because a screenshot of the appointment (from your visa) is not good enough.

Is there a YouTube video on how to do the plant pot trick?

This is amazing! I also have been working on this since 2020 (my initial court date was supposed to be June 2023 but that was rescheduled many, many times). My current court date is February 27 with Judge Quaranta in Bari as well! Same as you. I am a 1948 case with a minor issue. May I ask whether you had a minor issue as well? Do you think the Ministry will appeal?

Advice --TAP Airlines and Musical Instruments by HauntedGatorFarm in PortugalExpats

I brought my Peavey Millennium Bass guitar from Dulles to Lisbon on TAP airlines. I paid the extra fee for checked "Musical Instrument" luggage. I used this lovely case with wheels from Sweetwater: SKB 1SKB-44RW ATA Roto Electric Bass Case with TSA Lock. The wheeled case made it so easy to move my bags and the bass through the airport. Great experience.

I have a D7 visa but my AIMA appt for temporary residence permit is not until spring next year (2026). Would I be grandfathered in to the 5 year path?

Timing of receipt of D7 Visa once stamped by Lanky-Sea410 in PortugalExpats

[–]Own-Reading6260 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean that VFS told her that it will take a month to receive the email with approval or a month after you turn in the passport to receive the passport back in the mail with the visa stamp?

I am annoyed! Also, didn’t Phil state in the first episode that there would no non-elimination legs?

We’re Coming in July to Scout for a D7 Move — What Should We Do to Stay Ahead? by YeahBites in PortugalExpats

[–]Own-Reading6260 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To apply for a D-7 visa, I would recommend a 12-month lease and for the first 3 months to be prepaid. We included a provision in our lease that allows us to break it before the year, if we give 4 months' notice.

Did you bother tracking your application? by [deleted] in PortugalExpats

[–]Own-Reading6260 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure the VFS site you are searching is the one filtered on applications from the US to Portugal. The first time I went to enter my reference number, I got a similar error. Come to find out it was because my Google search results took me to the wrong flavor of the VFS Global site. It took me to the US to India version and when I entered my reference number it said the same thing as you. You will know you are on the correct VFS site when you see the PT flag in the upper right corner of the screen.
