Moving to Portugal just got a lot easier! Until recently, getting essential identification numbers like the NIF (tax number), NISS (social security number), and NNU (healthcare number) required multiple applications, visits to different government offices, and a lot of waiting time.
Now, Portugal has simplified the process, allowing foreign residents to apply for all three in one go – a game-changer for expats, investors, and anyone relocating. Let’s break down why this matters and how you can take advantage of this new system.
How It Used to Be – A Complicated Process
Before this change, applying for these numbers was a bureaucratic headache. Here’s what you used to have to do:
Visit different government agencies in person, often standing in long lines.
Provide different documents for each application, depending on the department’s requirements.
Deal with language barriers since not all services were available in English.
Wait for weeks or even months to get all your identification numbers sorted.
For investors and new residents, this was frustrating and time-consuming. But now, Portugal is making it much easier.
What’s Changed?
With the new system, you can now apply for all three identification numbers at once via a single online platform. No more running around from office to office.
Faster processing – Get everything sorted in one go.
Online applications – Apply from anywhere via ePortugal.
Simplified requirements – No need to prepare different applications for each number.
This change makes settling in Portugal much smoother, especially for investors, remote workers, and retirees who need these numbers to open bank accounts, buy property, or set up businesses.
How to Apply – Documents You Need
Applying is now much easier, but you’ll still need some key documents:
✔ Passport or EU national ID card
✔ Proof of address (utility bill or rental contract)
✔ Proof of employment or study (if applicable)
✔ Residency permit or proof of application
Once you have these, head over to ePortugal and complete your application online.
Why This Matters for Investors
If you're looking to buy property, invest in Portugal, or move here for business, this change removes a major hurdle. Instead of waiting months to get the documents you need, you can now get started right away.
