How long does it take for the Lisbon Immigration Bureau to review and approve materials for a residence card?

Generally, it takes 2-3 months for Portugal to receive a new residence card.

According to Aozhen Immigration, according to regulations, the Portuguese Immigration Bureau uses registered mail when mailing a new residence card. If there is someone living at home at the time, it can sign for it, but if no one is at home, it will be returned to the Immigration Bureau. When you go to the Immigration Bureau to pick up the new card, you need to sign for it in person.

In addition, under special circumstances, expedited procedures can be carried out for the issuance of a new residence card, and the new card may be sent to your home in a dozen working days.
