Good News for Visa Applicants: Faster Processing Times Ahead

By /
| The Golden Portugal

We are excited to share a positive update for those awaiting immigration approvals in Portugal.  A significant change is underway that could drastically reduce the backlog of pending visa applications and speed up the entire process.

As of the end of September, more than 1,200 lawyers and legal agents have been recruited to assist the Portuguese immigration agency (AIMA) in processing the 410,000 pending immigration cases. This is part of a nationwide effort to address the long wait times that many applicants have experienced.

This initiative aims to ensure that the backlog, particularly for residency authorizations and other administrative processes, is handled more efficiently. With additional legal professionals stepping in to assist, applicants can expect faster resolutions, potentially seeing their cases move forward sooner than anticipated.

For those who have been waiting patiently, this news is a light at the end of the tunnel.  The Portuguese government’s collaboration with the legal community reflects a strong commitment to improving the immigration process and alleviating the pressure on the current system.

We believe this will be a game changer, as these efforts could significantly reduce processing times, bringing relief to thousands of applicants.  We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as they become available.

Stay hopeful—better days are ahead! 👍
