Hello, does anyone know how long it takes to get your Residence permit after your SEF appointment?

Thanks much

@mjgillard57,

After the SEF appointment, upon approval, I think they give you the choice of picking up the card yourself or having it sent to you by post. It seems to me, but I am not sure, only according to some feedbacks, that the residence permit card takes between 1 to 5 weeks to be ready to be delivered to you.

I just got mine yesterday, a little more than three months after my SEF interview.聽 If there's any rhyme or reason at all, it may depend on the particular office you're assigned to.聽 Coimbra, in my case, is notoriously slow.
