Short answer
Yes, AIMA has service points in the Azores, though capacity and appointment availability vary by island. Most residence-permit steps are handled locally after you arrive, but waiting times can be long. Always check the official AIMA website or call centre for the current office and booking process, as procedures and locations change.
