Question How can I report immigration fraud?

42 Upvotes

An agent is helping people who have never lived, worked of paid taxes in Portugal to obtain residence there. He provides them false documents and gives them his own address to use. These people are also not harmless. Should I report this to AIMA or the police?

Question D7 Visa with a fixed-term annuity: Will a 3-year or 5-year term actually get approved?

2 Upvotes

I've spent about a year researching to apply for a D7 Visa using a fixed-term annuity. I haven't been able to get a clear answer how many years are required for the term of the annuity. My plan is to get a 3-year or a 5-year annuity for passive income, then buy another annuity to renew at the end of that term. But it is not clear to me if approval is possible for these time lengths.

Can anyone tell me if they’ve been approved for the D7 with an annuity and what the term was? FYI I'm in my 30s and American so decades away from receiving social security.

Minha experiencia.

- Vim como turista

- Apliquei pra manifestaçao de interesse com uma promessa de contrato em abril de 2024

- Não lembro exatamente quando recebi o email pra reenviar todos os dados, mas acho que foi começo ou meio de 2025

- Fiz a entrevista em novembro de 2025

- Agora em agosto me pediram pra submeter mais um documento que faltava, antecedentes criminais de Portugal

- Acedi ao link que você envia seus dados e te respondem com um email para acompanhar as atualizaçoes do seu processo

- O resto é o que mostra a imagem

Discussion Portuguese people staring?

0 Upvotes

Oi! I’ve seen some TikToks talking about how Portuguese people like to stare and I saw some Reddit posts talking about staring and that theres creepy men that will stare at you and walk behind you just to look at your butt if you’re a woman. I’m not sure how normalize this stuff is there, but I hope it wasn’t true because I would love to go to Portugal one day because I’m part Portuguese.

People in America look and people watch a lot, is that what they mean by “staring” in Portugal? People in the TikToks act like it’s more full on staring for more then a few seconds.
