Requirement to get SNS-Health Card

I am planning to stay in a Hotel/ Airbnb for a month in Lisbon after getting the residency card.

  1. I understand to get the SNS card for the family, each member must have a NIF number.
  2. Further, a address in Portugal has to be given. Will the hotel or Airbnb address be sufficient or does the applicant have to show a long lease rent agreement.
  3. A Portuguese phone number has to be given. Can the same phone number be given for all the family members or do all the members need to have a Portuguese phone number.
    Will appreciate feedback from members.
    Thanks

  1. NIF is definitely needed for adults, including children over 18 (most likely needed for minor children also but not 100% sure)
  2. Those with an existing residential real estate investment can use that address (and apply at the centre closest to that address). Donโ€™t know what would work in other cases.
  3. Same Portuguese phone number can be given for all members. A simple prepaid SIM can be bought in Portugal.

Your lawyer should be able to help with the process.
