I’m moving to Portugal

What it costs to live here, which visa fits you and your first steps after you arrive.

Next steps

  1. Get a NIF (tax number): you need it for almost everything (renting, banking, contracts).
  2. Open a Portuguese bank account.
  3. Sort out your visa or residence permit with the right documents. Residência Fácil helps you prepare.
  4. Get a NISS from Segurança Social and register at your health centre to get an SNS user number.
