Immigration agency reports drop in formal complaints

📍 Évora🛂 Immigration🏛️ Government#residency-permits+2 more

The Agency for Integration, Migration and Asylum (Agência para a Integração, Migrações e Asilo or AIMA) reports that formal complaints against the agency have halved compared to 2024. Despite this, the union representing migration technicians has questioned the data, suggesting that the figures may not fully reflect the current state of service delivery and the agency's ongoing workload.

Temporary residence is a limited residence permit that allows non‑EU nationals to live in Portugal for a set period (commonly one year, renewable) for study, work or other reasons. The Agência para a Integração, Migrações e Asilo (AIMA) launching an online form means eligible students who also work can apply or regularise their status more easily through AIMA’s process rather than only via consular services.

Heatwave triggers yellow warnings across nine districts

📍 Évora🌱 Environment🏖️ Daily Life#severe-weather+3 more

The Portuguese Institute for Sea and Atmosphere (Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera or IPMA) has issued a yellow warning (aviso amarelo) for high temperatures in nine districts. The heat is expected to persist in Viseu, Évora, Faro, Beja, and Portalegre until Saturday evening, with temperatures potentially reaching 39 degrees Celsius.

A red warning is the highest alert level issued by Portugal's weather agency, the Portuguese Institute for the Sea and the Atmosphere (Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera or IPMA), used when conditions pose a very high risk to life and property. Under a red warning authorities may close roads, suspend transport and advise people to avoid coastal and flood‑prone areas, so follow civil protection instructions during the Friday–Saturday storm period.

Former SEF inspectors in Homeniuk case released on parole

📍 Évora⚖️ Legal🛂 Immigration#sef+3 more

Three former inspectors of the Foreigners and Borders Service (Serviço de Estrangeiros e Fronteiras or SEF) convicted for the murder of Ihor Homeniuk were released on parole in late March. The decision was confirmed by the Execution of Sentences Court (Tribunal de Execução de Penas or TEP) following their initial nine-year prison sentences.

The Foreigners and Borders Service (Serviço de Estrangeiros e Fronteiras or SEF) was a police agency responsible for border control and immigration management until it was abolished in October 2023. Its functions were transferred to other entities, such as the Agency for Integration, Migration and Asylum (Agência para a Integração, Migrações e Asilo or AIMA) and the police forces, following a restructuring intended to separate administrative services from security enforcement.
