My 84-year-old grandmother recently came from Brazil to visit me in Portugal. She had a return business-class ticket, was in a wheelchair and accompanied by airport assistance. Still, they almost didn’t let her enter because I hadn’t written an invitation letter. She later went to Ireland to visit my sister and had to enter Portugal again. This time, I prepared the letter and attached my European passport, proof of my address and all our information. Apparently, that still wasn’t enough. They almost rejected it because it wasn’t the specific AIMA form authenticated by a notary. An 84-year-old woman in a wheelchair, with a business-class return ticket and clear proof of where she was staying, was treated like an immigration threat because of paperwork. Then we watch thousands of people enter Europe illegally without passports, visas or any checks at all. Honestly, it’s an absolute joke. Two-tier immigration control in Europe.
