What is the NIF and why do you need it?

The NIF (Número de Identificação Fiscal) is your tax identification number in Portugal. It is the most important document for anyone wishing to live, work, or invest in the country.

Without a NIF, you cannot perform the most basic tasks, such as opening a bank account, signing a lease agreement, buying a property, or even getting a SIM card.

For non-EU/EEA residents, Portuguese law requires the appointment of a Fiscal Representative to obtain and maintain a NIF. Baker & Co. provides this full service, ensuring your NIF is issued correctly and remains compliant with Portuguese tax authorities.
