Social Security by edwyer729
Can I still collect my Social Security benefits if I reside in Portugal? If so, what are the tax ramifications?

It is my understanding that your US SS would be taxable at the rate of 10% in Portugal, it is classed as a pension and pension payments are taxable in Portugal even if you've paid tax on them in the US but it is a bit of a grey area. If you have ... Read More


Buying Stuff Online From USA To Be Shipped in Portugal by Ashraf Ali96
Hi All, I would like to purchase some stuff from Amazon USA, to be shipped to Portugal, because I live here, Does anyone know if I will have to pay any customs fees during the shipping? or are there no custom fees for stuff purchased from USA?Thank ...

Has Anyone Gotten a Response to Any Email Sent to AIMA? by wordsmith555
I have posted before, asking if anyone has been successful in getting an AIMA appointment by emailing AIMA.My question now is: Has anyone gotten an email response from AIMA about ANY question/issue whatsoever?

AIMA appointment for Family by kyle247365
Hi, I hope someone has had the same issue we are facing so we can get some guidance on what to do next. Me and my family received our D7 visas today, yay! We are so happy but along with our visas we received AIMA appointments for each of us ...

We had appointments in Gorda (far North) & Lisbon (1 month apart). When we went to Gorda they wouldn't take us both together even though we went together and there wasn't anyone else waiting. I'd guess you'd have no issues with the kids, or ... Read More

Many thanks to all this has been very informative, our visa's don't run out for 9 months but we'd been told to get a head of the game and get started asap. However it would appear that we won't be able to do anything until our visa's expire. I can't ... Read More
