I have NIF and will be in Lisbon visiting soon. Looking for bank recommendations for opening account? Also any tips on what I will need other than Passport and NIF
I have read online (https://novomove.com/) that to open a bank account in PT you will need the following:
Required Documents:
- Passport
- Proof of address
- Proof of employment
- Portugal NIF document
- Tax number from the country of residence
There is a lot of other info on Novomove’s website, re.: opening a bank acct.

Did you get your NIF online?
I’m about to start the visa application process and considering obtaining NIF and opening a bank account remotely; unsure what the downsides to doing this could be.
best wishes, Paul
