“As of 28 April, 2025, requests made under the Foreigners Act will only be received when they are complete, that is, when they contain all the documents that the law defines and requires as necessary for analysis and decision,” says AIMA in a statement reported by ECO.

Therefore, applicants must be in possession of and present all legally required documents. Only in this way can AIMA promise a “quick” and “swift” decision.

Applications for granting and renewing residence permits that are not complete with all the elements required under the Foreigners Law and Regulatory Decree No. 1/2024, of 17 January, will not be accepted for service.
