QUAGMIRE
I am perplexed by new changes Amia is requesting for new resident card while 100k waiting for updated cards. There is no time line between email receipt & payment & appointment so you are frantically chasing for updated docs that the giv makes extremely difficult to acquire. expat sites are full of misinformation. It is a Quagmire. I know you are doing everything you can but it is not a precise reporting system to rely on unfortunately.

Portugalist is an essential resource if you're thinking of moving to Portugal
Portugalist has been a trusted resource in my future move to Portugal. They have experts giving you the real story behind what to expect and answer all your questions. I love that there's no fluff, they get right to the point and tell you what you want and need to know. From taxes and visas, to how buying and owning a car differs there, they offer information on things you may not even think of.
