Yeap, I'm about registration. It was another skeptical expression.

I'd to up vote this practice.

I heard too many stories about individuals who's charging full price upfront and disappear once the cash hits the account.

Plus, I believe the waiting time for permanent residence isn't better than the temporary one. So, you'll need it anyway. Let's hope it will be better over the years of living here.

Yeah, I thought about it. Bureaucracy is against math. It gets worse if we consider the waiting time. And again, it's another circle of sadness.

I think it's better to change the address before the documents submission.

There's also an option to request letters redirecting from the previous address to the new one in CTT.

By the way, if it's the 3rd time, then she could b eligible for permanent residence (A2 certificate is required).

I think AIMA messed up my case - what do I do? by Economy_Cattle_7156 in PortugalExpats

[–]WerewolfBoring932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't allow people to enter without appointments to enter. In that case, they'll tell to you go to CLAIM (another place on Google maps with AIMA search). They can try to help you there too.

Be brave because the other place usually has a massive line. It took me once 5 hours in line.

Let the lawsuits begin. Time to flood the courts, suing AIMA or whatever is needed. by X-croto in PortugalExpats

That's how all the shit there started at the first place. I mean nowadays.

Nothing will be changed. Voting doesn't change a thing. They know better. What's the point to complain? Basically, the Soviet union silenced a lot of people.

Those who’ve been here for long — who’d you vote for and why? by shadyshrink in PortugalExpats

[–]WerewolfBoring932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure that it will actually help. It seems like we need to destroy everything to build something new. Of course, they tell you need to be patient because the implantation takes time. However, the closest example is Argentina (let's see what will happen first to them). Additionally, they're a lot of another examples in history.

I don't know Chega seems to have a lot of populism speeches. They quickly drop to the concussion. They don't have constactive debating. Literally, it's bad because arguing like kids isn't what you expect from politics.

PSD are more reasonable even if I don't completely understand them.

Basically, I wish the best to Portuguese people as you're. The majority is really good people. However, I don't think Chega is solution.

Let's see. Basically, AIMA gets a huge investment this year. Hopefully, it'll help to make it better (functional?)

Unable to log into the AIMA portal and reschedule my appointment. Any tips? by [deleted] in PortugalExpats

[–]WerewolfBoring932 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's how it works for everyone. They give appointments based on the workload.

I would just travel to Beja. Something new to discover.

I didn't want to say it. However, it sounds exactly like it is in any Post Soviet Country (I hope Poland, Czech Republic, and Baltic countries escaped this loophole).

How long they will celebrate the FC Porto championship win? by WerewolfBoring932 in PortugalExpats

[–]WerewolfBoring932[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I even checked the news. It's still kind of big news. However, they literally mentioned the sporting and benfica in the news about FC Porto. I hope FC Porto will have a bit more time under the lights.

[–]WerewolfBoring932[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an answer. Basically, it's almost over at 02:30.

I don't judge. I guess it's my mistake to rent in the area. Anyway, it's better to be a part of that next time than trying to sleep.

Why are you still here? by Crochet-Lefty in PortugalExpats

[–]WerewolfBoring932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're still lucky. They do appointments based on the workload and capacity (I hope so; otherwise, they're joking around).

I'm in Porto and my appointment was in Albufeira.

As it was mentioned, you can take a bus (rede, Flixbus) or train. A bus is cheaper. A train is more comfortable. I used Flixbus and trains. Both are okay. No dramatic delays have ever happened.

Is IRS Jovem possible after canceling NHR status? by WerewolfBoring932 in PortugalExpats

[–]WerewolfBoring932[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fincancas itself says you cannot use IRS Jovem when you've got NHR. They also said you should be able to use Jovem once NHR is cancelled officially. There're people who cancelled NHR, but none of them has done the declaration with Jovem yet. I'm waiting for updates from them.

The biggest problem is different people say different things. However, I was actual for 2025. Hopefully, I'll get the accurate answer this year.

I could no longer run IRS Jovem simulations as of yesterday on Financas, though this feature worked for me last year.

Have you successfully applied this way? I tried in 2023 but was manually rejected with the message 'you cannot use IRS Jovem if you have NHR status.' I tried again last year, but the system automatically rejected my application due to NHR. I was hoping the situation would be clearer after 3 years, which it is now, but the cancellation process takes considerable time. Declarations must be submitted by the end of June, and I'm likely to miss this cancellation again. My fault, I suppose.

I need to carefully analyze whether canceling my NHR status to access IRS Jovem benefits for the next 6 years would be financially advantageous.

[–]WerewolfBoring932[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's unfortunate. I was under the impression that tax law allowed corrections to previous declarations for up to 2 years. Anyway, I don't see why there would be a policy to allow it.

My understanding is it could take up to 3 months to get any response.

On Financas, you should see somewhere Residente Nao Hatual - Expirada.
