The NIF is essential for almost all administrative and financial procedures in Portugal, including opening a bank account, signing a lease, and, most importantly, buying or selling property.

How long does it take to get a NIF?

The process is typically very fast. Once all the correct documentation is submitted, the NIF can often be issued within the same day or a few business days.

Can I apply for a NIF from abroad?

Yes, you can. We can act as your fiscal representative and handle the entire application process remotely, so you don't need to be physically present in Portugal.
