AIMA increases services by more than 60% and reduces complaints by 35.8%

SAPO Notícias12 September 2026 at 20:08

The Agency for Integration, Migration and Asylum (AIMA) recorded an increase of more than 60% in the number of services provided at its locations during the first half of this year, compared to the same period of the previous year. The data covers the period between January and June.

At the same time, the agency managed to reduce complaints by 35.8%, representing a significant improvement in the quality of service provided to citizens. This decrease in complaints reflects the organization's efforts to optimize its internal processes.

The growth in services occurred consistently throughout the first six months of the year, demonstrating AIMA's increased capacity to meet demand. The agency did not specify the concrete factors that contributed to these positive results.

This data was released by AIMA itself and suggests a positive evolution in the management of migration and asylum services in Portugal during this period.

Why this matters

Readers in Portugal directly feel the impact of these improvements, as AIMA is the agency responsible for processing migration, integration and asylum requests, essential services for thousands of immigrants and refugees in the country. The reduction in complaints and the increase in services indicate a more efficient and accessible public service delivery.
