A group of Chinese citizens who are waiting for a Golden visa in Portugal have proposed that a temporary document is issued while they wait for the definitive response, a source told Lusa News Agency.
“They tell us nothing. This attitude is very bad. If they cannot issue the visa in time, they should give us temporary documents while we wait. I have been in Portugal for over a year waiting”, S. Tang, from a group of Chinese citizens who are in Lisbon waiting for a Golden visa told Lusa.
“I liked the measures about the visa and I like this country. If I can manage, I can do many things in Portugal. It is very easy to deliver the documents but it is not so easy to get the authorisation. What solutions do they have for us? They tell us nothing, they haven’t even apologised”, Tang said.
Likewise, Lily Liu, who works in “international trade” and travels a lot between China and Europe, and decided to ask for a Golden visa in Portugal.
“Now I cannot go to China and cannot even go to other countries on business. If I go to China, I have to wait 90 days to get a new exit visa, but my daughter is here and I cannot leave her alone. What can I do?” - asked Liu who delivered her papers in April 2015, in Lisbon and has had no reply since then.
“I hope SEF (Portuguese immigration) improves its service, otherwise I will have to go to court”, Liu said.
