AIMA has extended the validity of certificates confirming residence permit renewal applications by an additional 60 days, cancelling their scheduled expiration on April 15. The measure applies to applicants whose residence cards expired before June 30, 2025, and whose cases are still pending. These certificates will remain valid until a final decision is issued and a new card is provided. Applicants whose cards expired after that date and who have already applied via the new online renewal portal can download a QR-coded certificate. For those whose applications have already been approved but cards not yet issued, the approval certificate serves as the valid document. Material taken from https://t.me/portugal_noticias
