Portugal: Renewal of Residence Permits

The Agency for Integration, Migration and Asylum (AIMA) has announced that holders of residence permits that expired between 22 February 2020 and 30 June 2025 who have not yet been notified by email by AIMA to renew their residence permit must now request the renewal here.

What will happen? 

After making a renewal request, the user will be contacted at the email address they indicate to confirm their renewal request; to proceed with the payment of the fees due; and, after payment confirmation, to confirm an in-person appointment with biometric data collection.

They will also receive instructions on how to submit all necessary information and documentation via the AIMA services platform before the appointment.

Within ten business days after payment confirmation, a receipt proving the renewal request will be made available in the user’s account section of the services.aima.gov.pt platform.

Applications for renewal of residence permits which expired from 1 July 2025 must be made here.

What is not covered?

AIMA states that this service does not cover the renewal of CPLP Residence Permit, Residence Permit for Investment and EU Residence and Family Cards. The renewal of CPLP AR continues to be carried out via a separate procedure here.
