Renewal of permanent resident card

Hi. Similar issue here. My Residency visa expires in April. Aima have advised that SEF portal is available for those with an expiry date Jan-Mar 2024, however as of yesterday I can no longer login to the SEF portal, and even when I could there was just an error trying to renew my Residency visa.

Aimia are supposedly developing an online platform for automatic renewals, but who knows when this will be ready.

i have been trying for the past month to make an appointment with IRN to have the Residency visa renewed, but have never found any appointments available anywhere. i assume when new slots are made available that they are snapped up immediately.

@Akerstholt54 try using my free instructions and tips! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Hpo … p=drivesdk

Hi, we're in another thread having the exact same issues, it's seemingly impossible to get a meeting and permit also expiring in May/June so it's needed ASAP. Been to AIMA, been to IRN offices, been to Loja do Cidadao's and tried to phone/call constantly but to no end.

I'm also having issues with SEF login but I thought it was my account/password specifically, sounds like it could be a general problem
