Trusted by Thousands: Our 5-Star Reviews
They saved my deadline
āI had days, not weeks, to get a NIF sorted. I went by the reviews and picked Novomove. Best decision I made that month. It was fast, the instructions were precise, and I never felt like I'd been left to figure something out alone. NIF in hand in three business days. Thanks especially to Maya and to Dianne, who stayed on top of my request.ā
Sorted in days, not months
āI'd been going in circles trying to get a NIF on my own for the better part of a year. Novomove had it done in under a week. Tijana kept me posted at every stage, which honestly I wasn't expecting. Worth every cent.ā
They handled both my NIF and my bank account without any drama
āNovomove walked me through getting a NIF and opening a bank account in Portugal, and the instructions were never confusing. I asked a lot of questions. Probably too many. Every one got a proper answer within a day. My sons moved over two years ago and both told me not to try this alone if I don't speak Portuguese, and they were right. Glad I listened.ā
For a NIF, a visa, or anything else on their list
āFor a NIF, a visa, or anything else on their list, Philip and his team are the ones to call. They're approachable, they pay attention to what you actually need, and they turn genuinely awkward bureaucratic processes into something manageable. My wife and I got to Portugal with far less pain than we'd braced for.ā
NIF application
āReplies come back within hours and the price beat everyone else I looked at. Their guides for the Portal das FinanƧas are the only ones I found that actually match what's on the screen now rather than three years ago. Tijana was patient and helpful throughout.āCollected directly from our clients after their service is complete. Read all reviews →
Why Digital Notifications Are Not Always Enough
Portuguese tax law allows non-residents to activate electronic notifications via the Portal das FinanƧas.
However, some official notices are still sent exclusively by regular mail to your registered tax address.
Audit & Inspection Requests
Requests for additional documentation
Fines & Late Payment Warnings
Notices of penalties or overdue taxes
Legal Summons & Official Correspondence
Important legal notices
Debt Collection & Tax Enforcement Letters
Formal debt recovery communications
If your NIF tax address is outside Portugal, these letters may never reach you in time.
With our tax representative, you are guaranteed to receive all official notices, scanned and delivered via email

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a tax representative if I already have a NIF?
It depends. If you’re a non-resident with a NIF and your tax address is outside Portugal, you are not required to appoint a tax representative if you have activated electronic notifications on the Portal das FinanƧas.
However, some official tax-related notices are still sent exclusively by regular mailāespecially if you own property, earn income, or have other financial activities in Portugal. If your tax address is outside the EU, there is a risk that you wonāt receive these letters in time, leading to potential missed deadlines, fines, or legal issues.
š” A tax representative ensures all official correspondence is received and forwarded to you promptly.

3ļøā£ Power of Attorney (PoA): Electronically sign the PoA we provide, authorizing our partner lawyer to act on your behalf.
