A Termo de Responsabilidade is a signed statement in which someone in Portugal takes responsibility for your stay. If you’re the non-EU partner of an EU citizen, it’s the line on AIMA’s list that reads “Termo de Responsabilidade subscrito pelo nacional da UE”<\/strong>: your EU partner signs it for you.[4]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The signer takes on real obligations. And since 4 November 2024, AIMA only accepts its termo form if the signature is certified<\/strong> by a notary, lawyer or solicitor, unless it’s signed in front of an AIMA representative.[3]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the person signing needs that certification, our signature notarisation service<\/a> has a licensed Portuguese lawyer recognise the signature, for \u20ac79.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same document turns up in visa applications and when someone in Portugal invites a visiting relative. There are two official forms, for different offices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below you’ll find which form fits your case, AIMA’s form box by box in English, and how the certification works. For the rest of the file, see our AIMA appointment checklist<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
