Excellent fast & reliable service

“Excellent fast & reliable service - exactly as advertised. They've taken the time to be thorough and clear in both what they offer and how they execute. Comparison table shows they are the cheapest, clear guidance on getting your NIF and then changing your Finicas password, which is included in their NIF package price”.
V. Rana– Verified Review

Exceeds all expectations

“The service of Philip and his crew exceeded all expectations. The service for getting a NIF was very fast, with automatic status notifiactions throughout the process. Even after we got the NIF, Philip is helping us with another process with out any additional costs (he told us that the process is simple, and he can send us a guide that will help us to complete it ourselves). Amazing service, high integrity - HIGHLY recommended.”.

“I can't even begin to describe how valuable Novomove's services have been to me. They made my dream of moving to Portugal a reality by helping with the NIF, bank account, NHR status, even an immigration lawyer. Their guidance saved me not just headaches and tons of time, but also literally thousands of dollars. Worth every single dime!”.

Got my NIF in 1 day

Considering how nervous I was about bureaucracy in Portugal because everyone was telling me how slow and difficult everything is there, I'm more than happy with the service provided by Novomove. They completed my order the next day, and the price was reasonable, compared to other companies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Current Turnaround Times for our NIF service is 1-3 business days (last update Jan 5, 2025).

This estimated turnaround time is based on the recent experiences of our customers.

Your individual turnaround time might differ due to factors beyond our control, such as tax office delays, holidays, or other unforeseen events.

Rest assured, our commitment is to push things forward as much as we can, and provide you with updates throughout the process! 😊

Please note that the countdown begins once we’ve received all the necessary documents that meet the requirements and have also collected the signature from your Power of Attorney.

That’s a great question about the NIF service and tax representation.

Here’s a breakdown of what’s included in our one-time fee:

  • Obtaining your NIF and Filing Required Paperwork: We’ll handle the entire application process to secure your permanent NIF in Portugal, ensuring all necessary documents are submitted correctly.
  • Fiscal Representation (Year 1): Our partner lawyer acts as your official tax representative for the first year. This includes:
    • Portal das Finanças access: We’ll obtain your login details for the Portuguese tax authority website (approximately 2-3 weeks after your NIF is issued). This waiting period is set by the Autoridade Tributária and cannot be expedited.
    • Forwarding communications from the Portuguese Tax Authorities to your email for 1 year
  • Notification channel activation: After you receive your login credentials for the Portal das Finanças, we’ll guide you through activating the notification channel. This is important because:
    • Recent changes in Portugal’s tax law (effective 2022) allow non-EU/EEA residents to manage tax affairs independently through digital notifications.
    • Once our initial year of representation ends, you’ll be fully set up to receive these electronic notifications directly through the portal. This eliminates the ongoing need for a tax representative if you plan to engage in taxable activities like buying a car or property in the future.
    • Note for EU/EEA Residents: If you’re a resident of the European Union or European Economic Area (EU/EEA), you don’t necessarily need to activate the notification channel on the Portal das Finanças.

We’ll also provide you with a step-by-step guide on activating the notification channels yourself. This will ensure you can manage your tax affairs in Portugal independently moving forward.

You can access the guide here:

In summary – Our pricing structure is clear and upfront, requiring just a one-time fee.

With Portugal’s 2022 tax law changes, non-EU/EEA residents can can bypass the need for a tax representative by opting into digital notifications via the Finanças portal.

When you get a NIF from us, our partner lawyer acts as your tax rep for one year. This service includes obtaining your NIF and the login details for the Portal das Finanças.

After we acquire the login details, we help you activate the notification channel on the portal.

As the year ends and our representation ceases, you’ll be fully set up for digital notifications, allowing you to manage your tax affairs in Portugal independently.

We’ll guide you through the steps on How to Activate Notification Channels on the Finanças portal, enabling you to activate electronic notifications and thus making the role of a tax representative redundant.

No, EU/EEA residents don’t require a fiscal representative for tax purposes in Portugal.

However, to assist in acquiring your NIF, our lawyer can act in two capacities:

  1. As a legal representative, enabling us to send the Finanças portal password directly to your residential address outside of Portugal. This method typically means waiting 2 weeks for the password to arrive via regular mail to your residential address within EU/EEA area.
  2. As a fiscal representative, which allows us to provide you with access to the portal via email. This method typically means waiting 2-3 weeks for the password to be picked up by our lawyer from a tax office.

The choice between these options is available after you complete the payment and fill out the intake form. This approach ensures you have the flexibility to select how you wish to access the Finanças portal if you’re an EU/EEA resident.

Yes, we assist in providing access to the Finanças portal for both EU/EEA and non-EU/EEA residents.

Typically, you will receive access to the portal approximately 2-3 weeks after we have successfully issued your NIF. This waiting period is determined by the Autoridade Tributária and cannot be expedited.

1/ For EU/EEA residents, there are two options to receive your password:

Legal Representative Option: The Finanças portal password will be sent directly to your residential address via regular mail. This method usually takes around 2 weeks for the envelope with password to arrive.

Tax Representative Option: You will receive your password electronically via email. The password will be available in approximately 2-3 weeks, after being picked up by our lawyer from a tax office and forwarded to you as a scanned copy.

The choice between these options (only for EU/EEA residents) is available after you complete the payment and fill out the intake form. This ensures you have the flexibility to select how you wish to access the Finanças portal.

2/ For non-EU/EEA residents, you will receive your password electronically via email.

This is because the tax representative option is the only available method for non-EU/EEA residents. The email containing your password will be sent approximately 2-3 weeks after we have successfully issued your NIF.

Glad you asked! 😎

Activating notification channels on the Finanças portal is pretty easy, and we’ve got all the resources to help you out:

  1. Check out this helpful video from Autoridade Tributária e Aduaneira:

    It’s a great visual guide that walks you through the process step by step.
  2. Need a slower pace? We’ve got you covered with a detailed guide:
    Read the Step-by-Step Guide
    This document breaks down each part of the activation process, making it easy to follow at your own speed.

Timing for Activation:
It’s important to note that the activation of your notification channel depends on when you make the request. Here’s how it works:

  • If you submit your request on or before the 10th of the month, your notification channel will be activated on the 1st of the following month. (For example, a request made on January 7th will see activation on February 1st.)
  • If you submit your request after the 10th of the month, your notification channel will be activated on the 1st of the month after next. (For example, a request made on January 11th will see activation on March 1st.)

As a non-resident you won’t be automatically required to file taxes in Portugal.

You’re only obligated to pay Portuguese taxes if you own a property or a car in Portugal and under a few other specific circumstances outlined in this article
