What should immigrants do if they lose their passports or residence cards in Portugal?

First, you have to go to the police station to issue a statement that your passport and residence card are lost. As you have a China passport, you can only reissue it in China after you return home.

Secondly, you can apply for a travel permit at the Embassy of China in Portugal to ensure that you can stay in Portugal legally. Generally, it takes 2-3 working days from the application to the replacement of the travel permit. After issuance, you can go to the Immigration Bureau to reissue your residence card with the reissued travel card.

Third, reissue the required documents.

1, reissue the travel permit. First go to the police station to issue a lost passport certificate, and then go to the China Embassy in Portugal to issue a travel permit. The embassy staff will feed back the information to the domestic embassy to check the information, and then issue a travel permit. Required documents: passport loss certificate issued by the police station, a copy of the first page of passport, two 2-inch color photos, and an application form for reissue of travel permit, valid for 2 years.

2. reissue the residence card. Passport or travel permit must be presented, and the business card can be printed for about 3 weeks, which can be paid in cash or with a local Portuguese debit card. If it is urgent, you can ask a lawyer to write an email to the Immigration Bureau, but neither the lawyer nor the Immigration Bureau can tell you exactly when you can arrive early. Required documents: loss reporting certificate with passport number issued by police station, payment receipt of immigration bureau, admission notice, travel permit, copy of original passport home page, application form.
