Visiting SEF<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]To take care of the documentation in Portugal, the foreign national shall visit the customer service bureaus of the Immigration and Borders Service.<\/p>\n

SEF has a pre-booking system whereby the appointments for any customer service bureau can be booked either by telephone or online, providing their services in different bureaus.<\/p>\n

The appointment may be sent to any SEF\u2019s directorate or regional delegation, regardless the area of residence of the foreign national.<\/p>\n

The supporting evidence of the appointment made, with the date, place and time of the appointment, will be send to the user by e-mail.<\/p>\n

In addition, SEF provides an alert system by texting the day before the appointment with the date, place and time of the event.<\/p>\n

The setup of the pre-booking system, with the date and time of the personal customer service, removes queues and diminishes waiting times.<\/p>\n

Madeira’s residents, who\u00a0 wish an appoitment, must request it by email (dir.madeira@sef.pt) or at the bureau of the Regional Directorate for Communities and External Cooperation (Loja do Cidad\u00e3o of Madeira).[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Exception: lawyers and solicitors into the act itself, in particular consultation of processes or information, and the foreign national must always ensure the corresponding appointment even when accompanied by them (legal representative).<\/em><\/p>\n
