Instead of being happy about letting more people submit, AIMA needs to focus resources on issuing permits to the thousands of us with permits that expired many months ago. Even though we complied with all the requirements, submitted all the documentation, we have still not been issued permits.
AIMA says that you can still use your expired permits, however that is absolutely not true. Other entities do not recognize the expired permit, and it is very risky to travel out of Portugal with an expired permit. My wife and I will miss our youngest son university graduation because we choose not to risk traveling with expired permits.
