The Agência para a Integração, Migrações e Asilo (AIMA) is finalizing a new digital form designed to streamline the family reunification process for infants born to immigrant parents in Portugal. This initiative aims to simplify the procedure for obtaining residency permits for children. The digital tool is expected to be operational by the end of this week.

Context & Explainers

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.
