The two documents every expat in Portugal needs first.
Your NIF and Portuguese bank account are prerequisites for almost everything else — your lease, your AIMA appointment, your utilities, your insurance. Get them right, in the right order, before you need them urgently.
This package is for you if
- You're moving to Portugal and haven't started the paperwork yet
- You need your NIF to sign a lease or begin a visa application
- You want a Portuguese bank account but don't know which bank or what to bring
- You're sorting the essentials before deciding whether to use Carlos for more
What's included
NIF Registration at Finanças
Carlos handles the appointment, submits your documentation and confirms your NIF is correctly registered. Fiscal representation included if required.
Bank account at the right bank for your nationality
Carlos selects the bank and branch most likely to open an account for your specific nationality and profile — not a guess, based on experience.
Full document preparation
Personalised document checklist confirmed before any appointment. Nothing missing on the day.
In-person appointment support
Carlos accompanies you to Finanças and the bank, handles all communication in Portuguese.
MB Way activation
Portugal's dominant mobile payment system set up and tested before you leave the bank.
Fiscal representation (if required)
Included in the NIF service for non-EU nationals who need a fiscal representative — at no additional cost.
Government fees and bank charges are separate and always disclosed before any appointment is made. No hidden costs. The €299 covers Carlos's service for both NIF and bank account handled together.
