Hola Portugal will be responsible for being your fiscal representative, preparing your documents and sending them to the Tax and Customs Authority to apply for your NIF.

Citizens and residents of third countries need to have a tax representative to obtain a NIF. This representative can be any person with tax residence in Portugal.

According to our experience, 90% of the NIFs are issued in approximately 1 week. However, Hola Portugal cannot guarantee an exact date because much of the process depends on the timing of the Tax and Customs Authority, the entity in charge of assigning the NIF.

In case you have opened a bank account in Portugal without a TIN, it is very likely that the bank has assigned you a provisional bank TIN. Once you apply for a permanent TIN, the Portuguese Tax and Customs Authority must first cancel the bank TIN and then assign you a permanent TIN. In these cases, the process will take a week or more.
