Why is the AIMA appointment critical?

Relocation expert

AIMA is the government agency that grants your final residence permit, a completely separate step from your initial visa. As their requirements are stricter and different from the Consulate's, this review ensures you don't lose your residency rights due to a simple administrative error.

Anchorless was very helpful as I put together my dossier for the D8 appointment in NY. Rafaela was especially responsive and patient with me in ensuring I had all the missing pieces as well as contacting bank officials and lawyers on my behalf.

Last, but not least, it was nice to have a "document review" before my VFS appointment to give me more confidence that my application would be accepted - which it was. It's in the hands of the Portuguese embassy now (fingers crossed)

A very straightforward process, the documentation review service in particular is very well-thought out and something that I hadn't seen in other platforms.

Why you need our AIMA expert review service

Relocation expert

The AIMA clerk will not be the same person who reviewed your visa. They follow stricter protocols, with different rules and guidelines. We bridge the gap between your initial visa application and the reality of Portuguese bureaucracy to prevent a rejection.

AIMA rules vs Consulate rules

The requirements that were fulfilled for the visa application are not the same as the AIMA requirements. Our team closely follows these differences and what documents to add, remove or update.

AIMA Logo
Diamond icon

You are almost there

You waited months for this specific date. Ensure your documents are correct so you don't jeopardize your residency at the finish line.

Cross icon

Incomplete means rejected

Since April 2025, AIMA refuses to process incomplete files. If you miss a document, you lose your slot and must reschedule.

Calendar icon

Spot expiration traps

Criminal records and certificates have short validity windows. We verify every date to ensure your documents haven't expired while you were waiting for the appointment.

Glass icon

Catch "hidden" requirements

AIMA often adds sudden requirements, like notarized copies of all passport pages or landlord declarations. We track these changes daily so you aren't caught off guard.

We keep it simple for you

Bulletproof your residency application in 3 easy steps, from upload to final lawyer validation

Fantastic service

Fantastic service, very fast turnaround and getting the NIF was cheaper than what we had been quoted elsewhere. I had a slight issue due to a mistake that I had made and they were really helpful to make sure that the delay was minimal.
Highly recommended!

Exceptional

When I reviewed all positive comments it seemed too good to be truth. But they are really very good: great customer service, automated platform , friendly interface. My NIF was ready next day.

Alina, France

Superb Customer Service

I used Anchorless to obtain my NIF and Portuguese bank account online. The work began during the holidays in December 2023 and ended the first week of February 2024 [...]. I heartily recommend Anchorless. Getting the NIF and bank account through my immigration attorney would have cost me at least $1000 more.

Christine, United States

Highly recommend Anchorless for your Immigration procedures in Portugal

We found Anchorless on Google, hired them to process this important document for us, and... Voila! it arrived TODAY!! As a former US Immigration translator for 21 years found the speed of this procedure absolutely amazing.

Alonso M, Canada

The best. As simple as that

This is the second time that I use the services provided by Anchorless. This time to obtain my daughter's NIF. The service is not only quick and efficient but also painless and effortless which is everything you could ask for while relocating to a foreign country. Thank you

Orlando, Spain

Very easy and efficient service

Very easy and efficient service. I was lost - trying to get my daughters Fischal number sorted in Portugal, with Brexit making life difficult. This service was fast and efficient, it took about 10 minutes and I never left the sofa!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Daniel, United Kingdom

The company is great to deal with

The company is great, I had a good chat with Guilherme who is my contact about the process and what I wanted to do. So far setting up the legal requirements has been painless and they inform you of all the steps along the way.

Michael, Australia

Highly Recommended

Order my NIF and provided my documents online, all instructions on the website were clear and easy to follow. Got my NIF 24 hours after uploading my documentation! Money well spent! Thank you :)

Guilherme, United Kingdom

Better than helpful

In expecting mediocre, non-personalized help from Anchorless I was, I'm happy to say, pleasantly surprised to be wrong. I'm considering using them again for phase two.

"Going the extra mile" as the cliche says is what this company does and I would highly recommend them to anyone unsure of themselves when it comes to completing the paperwork required to begin the visa application process.

Robert, United Kingdom

Excellent service and support

Excellent service and support. We spoke with a representative who had broad knowledge and made it clear how we could move forward, what we could do, and what we needed further support. Technically, everything was friendly, with immediate response. We highly recommend this service.

Orit, Canada

Outstanding Experience

I recently had the pleasure of working with this company, and I can't recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, their service was nothing short of outstanding.
