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.

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.
