Residence for victims of domestic or gender-based violence

This application will be entered in the Portal de Trámites Digitales by one of the entities listed in the paragraph above.

In the event that you are a temporary resident as a dependent of any subcategory, that you have been a victim of crimes constituting domestic violence, and that you have initiated legal proceedings in relation to such criminal offenses, which have ended with a conviction, you may apply for this Residencia Temporal permit.

This permit will be granted by means of a resolution without any further procedure, as the holder, upon submission to SERMIG of an authorized copy of the final and enforceable sentence by the respective court, at the request of the interested party.

In those cases in which legal actions have been initiated for crimes constituting domestic violence, but not through a sentence, with the presentation of a certificate of the case issued by the Ministerio Público, which certifies your status as a victim, SERMIG will grant you a Residencia Temporal permit as a holder until the end of the respective judicial process, which may be extended at the request of the interested party.

• Decree No. 177 of 2022, establishes the immigration subcategories of the Residencia Temporal permit.
