Complaints against AIMA fall by half, but union says it's harder to complain

The number of complaints against AIMA fell to about half in 2025, according to the agency's president, Pedro Portugal Gaspar, who attributes the reduction to improved services and increased attendance, with over 600,000 attendances and 500,000 residence cards issued. However, the Migration Technicians Union contests this interpretation, arguing that the decrease in complaints is due to the growing difficulties migrants face in filing complaints, such as congested phone lines, lack of email responses, and closed branches. The union also asked AIMA to publish indicators on pending processes, response times, and errors in issuing documents.
