Current rules

Overview

The Agency for Integration, Migration and Asylum (AIMA) has launched an exclusive facility for lawyers and solicitors at its Lisbon II Office. This new room, established through collaboration with the Portuguese Bar Association (OA) and the Chamber of Solicitors and Enforcement Agents (OSAE), is designed to reinforce support for legal professionals handling cases for foreign applicants, thereby enhancing service agility and organisation. It applies to legal representatives and their foreign national clients utilising the AIMA Lisbon II Office and became available on or before its publication date.

Who is affected by the latest change

  • Lawyers (advogados) registered with the Bar Association (Ordem dos Advogados - OA)
  • Solicitors and Enforcement Agents (solicitadores e agentes de execução) registered with the Chamber of Solicitors and Enforcement Agents (Ordem dos Solicitadores e dos Agentes de Execução - OSAE)

What changed in the latest version

Before

The AIMA Lisbon II Centre had specific places where lawyers and solicitors could get information. They could use these places during opening hours. However, there was no special room just for them.

After

AIMA now provides a room at the AIMA Lisbon II Centre for lawyers and solicitors. Only they can use this room. It is at Rua Álvaro Coutinho, 16, in Anjos. This new space works with other information points already set up for these professionals.

This change gives legal professionals a dedicated and private space. This can help them handle cases for people from other countries at the AIMA Lisbon II Centre. It may lead to smoother interactions with AIMA staff. This could potentially reduce processing times. It could also improve the quality of legal support. Lawyers and solicitors can now use a specific space made for their needs. This might mean better service for their clients. The change shows that AIMA wants to support the legal community that works on immigration matters.

Explained simply

Imagine you're trying to sort out important paperwork for someone, and it's quite complicated. Usually, you might have to wait in a general area or quickly chat at a counter. But now, at one of the main immigration offices in Lisbon (AIMA Lisbon II Centre), if you're a lawyer or a solicitor helping foreign people, they've given you your own special, quiet room. This means you can work more easily and quickly with the immigration staff, making things smoother for the people you're helping.
