AUGUST 2025
Getting ready for my AIMA appointment meant double-checking every detail—bank statements, proof of income, lease agreement, and even my boarding pass. Thankfully, my consultant caught a small address issue before it could become a big headache. The meeting’s in Viana do Castelo, about an hour from Porto, so I’m making it an overnight trip. Hopefully, I’ll be celebrating that my residency permit is on its way… and enjoying a little time in one of Portugal’s prettiest coastal towns.
My Consultant: Ei! Migration Agency
We take care of everything from day one. All the pre departure arrangements, visas, documentations, bank accounts, transportation, health services or schools. All you need to live in Portugal.
AIMA: Agency for Integration, Migration, and Asylum
The AIMA website is the official online portal for Portugal’s Agência para a Integração, Migrações e Asilo (Agency for Integration, Migration, and Asylum). It provides information and services related to visas, residency permits, asylum requests, immigrant integration, and other migration-related matters in Portugal.
