How to Get Your NIF

How to get Portuguese tax payer number

You finally made the move, got your D7 visa 和 moved to Lisbon (or another beautiful city in Portugal). Now you’re running into issues when working to get your utilities or opening up your bank account set up since you don’t have a NIF. Don’t worry, we’ll walk you through how to get your NIF so you can go about enjoying your life in Portugal. This is to get a regular NIF, if you are looking to apply for the NHR regime which allows you to be taxfree for certain types of foreign incomes (non-habitual resident), the process will be different.

What the Heck is a NIF?

Your NIF (Número de Identificação Fiscal or Número de Contribuinte) is basically your taxpayer number.

Why Do I Need A NIF

You need a NIF to get pretty much anything done in Portugal. What, you ask?

  • Opening up a bank account
  • Getting a phone contract
  • Setting up utilities in Portugal
  • Buying a home
  • Securing a long-term lease
  • And doing your taxes in Portugal (even if you are under the NHR regime)

How to Get Your NIF

Proof of Your Address

If you are not yet living in Portugal, you can bring a bank statement for a foreign bank. If you are living in Portugal, you will need to bring proof of your Portuguese residence (you will need a lease that has been registered at Finanças by your landlord-lady – this is new as of 2018). You can also bring a copy of a utility bill in your name, but this is a bit of a catch-22 since you can’t get utilities without a NIF.

Bring ID

A passport should work perfectly for this.

Go to Your Closest Finanças

Finanças is Portugal’s answer to the IRS. 去得早, lines can be quite long and once you get in you will have to pull a ticket with a number and wait some more. I suggest getting there 30 minutes prior to opening.

Pull Your Ticket

There should be a map above to tell you which of the numbers to push for the appropriate number for this service.

Request Your NIF

Once you’re done waiting, let the person in front of you know that you would like to get your NIF and present your documentation. If they ask why tell them you want to open up a bank account. If you get the right person, you should walk out in another 15 minutes with a piece of paper that includes your NIF.

Note: I was also told that you can apply for a NIF at the loja da cidadao.
