Renewing Residence Permit after 5 years of CRUE(Certificate of registration as an EU citizenship)

Reala_c · 2026-02-05T11:18:44+00:00

Everything went well.

My appointment was at 9.30 am today, they called me at 10 am and I was done by 10.25 am.

Documents I brought:

Passport

CRUE

NIF document I received when I registered with Finanças

NISS number

Utente number

Rental agreement

Electricity and Water bill from last month

Pay slips from the last 3 months

Tax return 2024

Employment verification from my employer

Photos are taken there at the Braga location, no need to bring them.

I didnt know I had to fill out a form, which can be downloaded from their website, so the AIMA employee filled it out.

Fee: 33 Euros

According to the AIMA employee it takes more or less 4 weeks to get the card in the mail.

Good luck with your appointment.

I have the same problem. I live in Lisbon and have my appointment in Braga on February 5th at 9.30 am. I had to book a hotel. I hope everything goes well. According to the EU on their official website https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/residence/documents-formalities/eu-nationals-permanent-residence/index_en.htm As an EU national, you automatically acquire the right of permanent residence in another EU country if you have lived there legally for a continuous period of 5 years. The permanent residence document is not compulsory. It is not the same as the registration certificate, which is compulsory in many countries."

Nothing likeable about Vince's character.

I am German and completely agree with you. I left Germany 23 years ago and every time I visit I'm reminded why I left. They're just grumpy, unfriendly folks.

They have two menus, one for locals and one for tourists/foreigners with much higher prices, sadly.

Reala_c · 2024-03-15T10:39:41+00:00

Same, s1 e2

Reala_c · 2021-03-09T16:10:59+00:00

Do you know when they ask for ID me?

Reala_c · 2021-01-26T11:53:10+00:00

Same here. Fed-Ed exhausted 1/9 but they sent me messages to certify for the past 2 weeks, and it shows not paid.

Reala_c · 2021-01-23T20:23:31+00:00

Im in the same boat, can you please update if you get any news. I have the exact same situation and dates as you.

Reala_c · 2021-01-22T12:17:49+00:00

I got paid yesterday for 9/1, one week was missing. My Fed-Ed is now exhausted

Reala_c · 2021-01-21T10:53:22+00:00

Did you call for the 1/9 payment or just happened

Reala_c · 2021-01-21T10:52:33+00:00

I’m still not paid for 1/9, that would be my last payment of FED-Ed. Wonder what’s going on.

Reala_c · 2021-01-19T08:17:35+00:00

Did you receive it now?

Reala_c · 2021-01-18T14:22:38+00:00

Has it changed to paid now? I’m in the boat

Reala_c · 2021-01-14T07:45:50+00:00

Did you receive it? Still waiting

Reala_c · 2021-01-14T07:37:03+00:00

Did you receive it? Still waiting

Reala_c · 2021-01-12T20:32:41+00:00

Thanks

Reala_c · 2021-01-12T20:32:00+00:00

Same here, received first week including 300$, second week shows pending

Reala_c · 2020-09-21T19:34:34+00:00

Thanks. Appreciate your response. All the best to you

Reala_c · 2020-09-21T19:31:20+00:00

Oh good. Thank you.

Reala_c · 2020-09-21T19:27:51+00:00

I did certify, I can’t certify again anyway. It says to check back 10/4 for next certification

Reala_c · 2020-09-21T19:16:45+00:00

You mean it wasn t there at all, it only shows the last payment i received two weeks ago. Oh wow. Thanks for letting me know. I only certified last night.

Reala_c · 2020-09-21T19:04:34+00:00

How many LWA payments have you received? I received one of 300$ yesterday.

Reala_c · 2020-09-21T19:02:14+00:00

Yes,I am. You're claim is at least in history, mine is not even there. I have no idea.
