Visas.pt Launches Legal Action Service Against AIMA to Secure Critical Immigration Appointments for Portugal Residents
Immigration law firm offers 100% success rate solution for expats trapped in Portugal's appointment backlog crisisPORTUGAL - September 1, 2025 - Visas.pt, Portugal's leading immigration consultancy, announces the expansion of their legal services to include lawsuits against AIMA (Agencia para a Imigracao e Mobilidade) to secure essential immigration appointments for foreign residents facing prolonged delays in Portugal's overwhelmed immigration system.
With AIMA struggling under the weight of hundreds of thousands of pending cases, many foreign residents find themselves in precarious legal situations, unable to obtain the appointments necessary to regularize their status, renew permits, or complete family reunification processes. Visas.pt's new legal service directly addresses this crisis by taking AIMA to court on behalf of affected individuals.
"Reaching out to AIMA can feel like sending emails into a black hole. There is no reply, not even an automated one. Some people wait years for an appointment because of the backlog. This is exactly why our AIMA lawsuit option exists and why we have a 100% success rate," said Scott Kirk, CEO of Visas.pt.
The AIMA Crisis: A System in Breaking Point
Portugal's immigration system has reached a critical juncture, with AIMA's inability to provide timely appointments leaving countless expats in irregular or potentially illegal situations. Without access to appointments, foreign residents cannot submit required documents, undergo biometric data collection, or formalize their residence permits, creating a desperate situation for those seeking to establish legitimate residency in Portugal.
The appointment shortage has created profound consequences beyond administrative inconvenience. Many immigrants live in constant fear of legal repercussions, while others face social marginalization due to their undocumented status. The complete absence of any forecast for new appointment availability has left people feeling helpless and abandoned by the system designed to serve them.
Legal Action as the Last Resort
Visas.pt's [https://visas.pt/] AIMA lawsuit service represents a strategic legal approach to combat the agency's failure to fulfill its statutory obligations. Under Portuguese law, AIMA is required to process residence permit applications, family reunifications, and renewals within reasonable timeframes. The agency's systematic inability to provide appointments constitutes a breach of Portuguese legislation, providing legal grounds for judicial intervention.
The lawsuit process is streamlined and client-friendly. Following an initial consultation, clients grant power of attorney to Visas.pt's immigration lawyers, who handle the entire case remotely. Clients are not required to appear in court, making the process accessible even for those with busy schedules or mobility limitations. While lawsuits must be filed individually rather than for couples or families together, the service provides a viable pathway to securing appointments within months rather than years.
Proven Track Record of Success
Visas.pt has established itself as Portugal's premier immigration consultancy, earning an "Excellent" rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars on Trustpilot from satisfied clients. Customer reviews consistently highlight the company's expertise and personalized service approach.
"Scott provided excellent guidance on the topics we discussed about moving to Portugal. Thanks Scott!" noted one recent Trustpilot reviewer, reflecting the personalized attention that has become Visas.pt's trademark.
The company's 100% success rate with AIMA lawsuits demonstrates the effectiveness of their legal strategy and the validity of their approach. While legal action cannot guarantee immediate appointments in all cases, as final decisions rest with the courts, Visas.pt's track record shows that judicial intervention typically compels AIMA to provide appointments within a reasonable timeframe.
Comprehensive Immigration Solutions
Beyond AIMA lawsuit services, Visas.pt offers a complete range of immigration solutions for those looking to establish residency in Portugal. Their services include consultation with experienced immigration lawyers, document preparation and certification, NIF (tax identification number) applications, and ongoing legal representation throughout complex immigration processes.
The company's 795 AIMA lawsuit service includes comprehensive legal support from initial consultation through case resolution, providing clients with professional representation without the stress of navigating Portugal's complex legal system independently.
Addressing a National Challenge
The AIMA appointment crisis reflects broader challenges within Portugal's immigration infrastructure as the country experiences unprecedented levels of foreign investment and relocation. Portugal's attractive residence and citizenship programs, including the D7 visa, Golden Visa, and various family reunification options, have created demand that far exceeds AIMA's current capacity to process applications.
Visas.pt's legal action service not only provides individual relief but also creates systemic pressure for institutional reform. Each successful lawsuit sends a clear message that AIMA's failure to provide timely appointments is legally unacceptable and must be addressed through improved resource allocation and process efficiency.
Expert Immigration Guidance
Led by CEO Scott Kirk, Visas.pt combines deep knowledge of Portuguese immigration law with practical experience helping thousands of clients navigate complex bureaucratic processes. The company's approach emphasizes personalized service, transparent communication, and realistic expectations about timelines and outcomes.
"We understand that moving to Portugal represents a major life decision for our clients," Kirk explained. "When government agencies fail to provide basic services, we step in to ensure our clients' rights are protected and their immigration goals can be achieved."
Future Outlook
As Portugal continues to attract international residents and investors, the demand for efficient immigration services will only increase. Visas.pt's AIMA lawsuit service represents an important safety valve for the current system while highlighting the urgent need for comprehensive immigration reform.
The company continues to advocate for improved AIMA processes while providing immediate relief for clients trapped in the current backlog. Their success in securing appointments through legal action demonstrates that judicial oversight can effectively compel administrative compliance when other avenues fail.
