Summary:

  • 15% of daily immigration appointments go unfilled.

  • Around 6,000 appointments are scheduled daily at AIMA.

  • Absence of applicants limits system responsiveness.

  • Long delays in administrative responses have caused many to abandon their applications.

Daily Immigration Services Under Pressure

Approximately 15% of the 6,000 daily appointments at the Agency for Integration, Migrations, and Asylum (AIMA) remain unfulfilled due to the absence of applicants. This situation limits the responsiveness of the system, as highlighted by the president of AIMA during a recent statement.

Immigration Service Image The lack of administrative responses over the years has led many to abandon their residency requests.

This trend poses significant challenges for the immigration system in Portugal, reflecting broader issues related to administrative efficiency and support for immigrants.

With many individuals giving up on their applications, the implications for both the applicants and the system are profound, highlighting a need for reform and better engagement with those seeking to integrate into Portuguese society.
