Residencia, tax number and so forth?!

[AHKS]

We went to 'Loja dó Cidadão', Rua Abranches Ferrão 10, 1600-001 Lisboa. Metro station: laranjeiras, Azul(the blue line). Its open Monday-Saturday.

We brought our passport and our ID card from Denmark, where our (soon to be former) address in Denmark is stated. Im not sure if you actually need to provide evidence of your former EU address or if you can just tell them, anyways, we gave it to her(and she did use our old address on the application). She also needed our e-mail and our (Danish) phonenumber.

It took a few hours(primarily just waiting and waiting) and they didnt speak any English, but the process went smoothly and they were indeed friendly(We only speak minor-minor Portuguese yet). We paid 10,20 EUR each and got our numbers.

I'm surprised how smoothly it went(and still pretty concerned about the next steps...

thanks so much for the information! i'm not from the e.u. so i'm worried about the address requirement (and i don't yet have one in portugal). but glad to hear your experience went so smoothly. and i can certainly relate to being concerned about all the next steps!

The office you use depends on where you live stay. Each area/district has it's own Financas Office (Portuguese Tax Office) as your American? then your application might be slightly different unless you have employment or student visa when it's totally straightforward.

Different because non EU nationals or residents of the EEA still reguire a Fiscal Representative unless working or studying or have a Resident Visa.

thanks canoeman.

i am american. and i'm entering the country on a residency visa, so hopefully i won't need the fiscal rep!

In that case no you shouldn't', it applies to non Residents of EU or EEA
