Article 15 first card AIMA

Hello,

I had my appointment in Porto for the article 15 residency on the 24th July 2026. It’s now been 7 weeks and I have not received the card, and the online tracking has not updated since the date of the appointment.

This is my first time applying, I wanted to ask others their timeline for article 15 when they received the card (especially if your appointment was in Porto).

They did say it can take up to 9 months, but I’m really hoping for it to come soon so I can travel.

Thanks!
