Frequently asked questions
What documents do I need to provide?
Just a scan of your passport and a proof of address. Your passport scan must be on a white background and clearly show your full passport photo page and full signature page (no fingers in the way!). Your proof of address could be your driver’s license, the first page of a recent bank statement, a recent utility bill, or an official government document.
Do I need fiscal representation?
Probably not. A fiscal representative represents you in front of the Portuguese Tax Authority, and passes along communication from the Tax Authority to non-EU residents. Fiscal representation is required for non-EU residents. If you plan to reside in Portugal or elsewhere in the EU, this should not be necessary.
Can you be my fiscal representative?
Yes. To ask for current pricing for fiscal representation, please email our representative.
Need Your Portuguese Bank Account?
If you are applying for a long-term visa you will need both the NIF and a local, Portuguese bank account. We can help with that too!

StartAbroad client reviews
StartAbroad made the process easy and manageable. Anna is the BEST, she informed me of the necessary steps to get me to Portugal. StartAbroad helped with housing, needed documents, and the million questions I had. I highly recommend their services if you want an easy and very manageable process to travel and live overseas.
