Subject: Re: Making slow progress in Portugal
All my documents had been uploaded to their website, so
after a cursory review, I was processed within 30 minutes.
I am hoping they've fully sorted out the processes by my renewal time in 2 years. I asked about some of the documents they wanted that were also in my visa application and the agent said yes, they were in the system, but she still needed the paper documents and could not just reuse them / move them into the residency card process.
In some ways PT digitalization works very well (opening a work activity on the tax portal was very straightforward) but not so much with immigration docs, yet.
