AIMA now accepts tax certificates for residency proof
The Agency for Integration, Migration and Asylum (Agência para a Integração, Migrações e Asilo or AIMA) has updated its documentation requirements for residency applications. Foreign residents can now use a fiscal domicile certificate issued by the Tax Authority (Autoridade Tributária or AT) as proof of address, provided it meets specific criteria set by the agency.
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.
