Portuguese immigration — starting with AIMA
Know exactly what you need — and hand it in with confidence.
Immigration paperwork is confusing, high-stakes, and easy to get wrong. Portugeasy walks you through it: which documents you need for your situation, what each one is and where to get it, the problems caught before you submit, and a tidy pack ready for the counter.
We flag problems before you submit · We never fake an outcome · The decision is always the authority's
Where we help in your process
From first confusion to the moment you hand it in. The decision itself is always the authority's — we get you to the counter prepared, not guessing.

What you actually get
-
Understand what you need
A clear document checklist for your exact situation, in plain language — and for every document, what it is and why it's needed. No more guessing at official names you've never heard of.
-
Know where and how to get each one
We don't just name a document — we tell you where to obtain it, what to ask for, and the steps to get it. Knowing where to go is often the hardest part, and it's a lot of the value before anything is even checked.
-
Prepare it correctly
Generated declarations you just sign, and direct links to the official forms — so nothing is filled in wrong or missing a stamp.
-
Catch problems early
We check each document against the published document checklist and flag issues — an expired date, the wrong type — before the authority does, while you can still fix it.
-
Hand it in ready
Download one ordered PDF — a cover document checklist, a separator per document, and your documents together. It even tells you, honestly, whether it's complete.
Don't be the last to know when the rules change
AIMA moves deadlines, changes what's required, and the law keeps shifting — and most people only find out when it's already a problem. Turn on monitoring and we watch for you, then tell you in plain language when something that could affect you changes, with a link to the official source.
- Valuable even if you didn't open your process with us. If you're waiting on a decision anywhere, a rule or deadline change can still affect you — a free account plus monitoring is reason enough on its own.
- A curated, sourced feed of AIMA and immigration-law news — we share what we find (not every change, and never advice), so you hear about it early.
- If you do run a process with us: alerts the moment its checklist changes, plus deadline reminders.
Registration is free. Monitoring is an optional €5/month and you can cancel anytime.
The situations we help with
Arranged the way you'd describe your life, not the way the bureaucracy files it. We're starting with AIMA (immigration); more Portuguese institutions will follow. Some doorways are ready today, others are on the way — we tell you which, plainly.

What we are — and what we're not
We help you understand what's required, find and prepare each document, and spot problems against the authority's own published document checklist. That's a real, honest service — and it's where most of the stress and mistakes live.
What we don't do: decide your case, promise an approval, or stand in for a lawyer or the authority. We can't control the decision — nobody honest can. For straightforward situations most people do this themselves; for the harder ones a professional is worth it, and we'll tell you when we think yours is one of them.
Being honest about our limits is the point — it's what makes the help trustworthy.
