Recent Changes in the Validity of Documents and Visas
The new decree-law No. 109/2023 has been announced to provide relief and flexibility to individuals whose documentation and visas are approaching expiration. According to the new decree, the documents and visas with an expiry date falling within 15 days immediately preceding the date of entry into force of the decree-law or after it will be accepted under the same terms until the 30th of June 2024.
This extension means that those whose documents or visas were approaching expiration within the specified time frame now have more time to renew them. It is important to note that the government has also announced that documents will still be accepted under the same terms beyond the extension validity, provided that the holder shows proof of having scheduled the renewal appointment.
As long as the holder has a renewal appointment and the respective proof, the documents will still be valid and accepted until the conclusion of the renewal process. This is excellent news for all the parties involved, as it gives them the flexibility to complete the process without any bureaucratic obstacles.
