The AIMA (Agency for Integration, Migration and Asylum) has launched 35 stores across Portugal, designed to serve as a one-stop service point for migrants. These stores facilitate the interaction between migrants and various public and private entities, aiding in their integration and support processes.
Each AIMA store offers a range of services, including assistance with residency applications, legal advice, and information on employment opportunities. The stores are strategically located to ensure accessibility for migrants in different regions of the country.
Operating hours vary by location, with most stores open on weekdays. Services include consultations for lawyers and solicitors, requests for certificates, and general information sessions. Specific time slots are allocated for legal professionals to ensure efficient processing of inquiries and requests.
The initiative aims to streamline the integration process for migrants, providing them with the necessary resources and support to navigate their new environment effectively. By centralizing these services, AIMA hopes to enhance the overall experience for migrants in Portugal.
