The data reveals a significant decline in citizen satisfaction, dropping by 24.9% compared to the previous Foreigners and Borders Service (SEF). The average satisfaction rating for AIMA was 3.10, a notable decrease from SEF's 4.13.

According to the Complaint Portal, AIMA's response rate stands at 14.5%, with a solution rate of only 15.2%. The agency's current Satisfaction Index is alarmingly low at 15.3 out of 100.
