The Regulatory Decree No. 1/2024, of January 17, amends the regulation of the legal framework for the entry, stay, exit, and removal of foreign citizens from the national territory. It aims to modernize and simplify administrative procedures to ensure that the “Agência para a Integração, Migrações e Asilo, I. P.” (AIMA), the agency succeeding SEF in its administrative functions related to foreign citizens, can instruct and decide on processes regarding the stay of foreign citizens in the national territory in a timely manner and with enhanced security requirements.
