📄️ Getting a NIF as non-resident
A NIF (Número de Identificação Fiscal) is a tax number in Portugal. To live in Portugal or purchase any Portuguese assets you most likely need a NIF. If you are an EU citizen or UK citizen but living in an EU country you can apply for a NIF directly at a tax office (financas) in Portugal.

📄️ Tax - Register for online access
The Portugal tax office has a fairly good online portal where you can check the status of requests, submit things like tax returns, ask questions and get quick responses. This reduces the need to physically go to the tax office which can take a long time.
