Extension of Residence Permit Validity

Decree-Law No. 85/2025, of 30 June, has entered into force, extending the validity of documents attesting to the regular status of foreign nationals in Portuguese territory — namely, residence permits — expiring between 22 February 2020 and 30 June 2025, until 15 October 2025.

After this date, only residence permit documents accompanied by proof of payment for the renewal request, issued by AIMA (Agency for Integration, Migration and Asylum), will be accepted.
