On February 13th, the portal for documents that expired in April was released. According to a statement from the agency, the anticipation aims to “guarantee greater efficiency in procedures and reduce any embarrassment for citizens to a minimum”.

The government’s objective is to avoid the accumulation of expired residence permits, as occurred in previous years, when more than 374 thousand immigrants were left without access to an effective renewal method.
