AIMA in Anjos: queues, lack of tickets and delays of over a year

Now10 September 2026 at 12:04

AIMA in Anjos faces serious service problems, with long queues, lack of available tickets and delays exceeding one year in resolving processes. The agency, responsible for managing migratory and asylum affairs, has been the target of criticism due to its inability to provide timely responses to users.

One user in particular reports having waited approximately one year for the completion of her children's family reunification process. This situation illustrates the difficulties faced by many families seeking to regularize their migratory status in Portugal through this procedure.

The Anjos service has shown demand far exceeding its capacity to respond, resulting in extremely prolonged waiting times. The lack of available tickets for appointments further worsens the situation, leaving many applicants without concrete prospects for resolving their cases.

The article highlights the need for a more effective response from AIMA to handle the volume of requests and reduce the delays affecting thousands of people who depend on these services to reunite their families.
