Apply for NIF
Standalone service

Obtain Your Portuguese NIF — Remotely from Canada.

A NIF (Número de Identificação Fiscal) is your Portuguese tax identification number. You need it to open a bank account, sign a lease, register for utilities, and submit most visa applications. We help Canadians secure their NIF before they leave home.

Remote application

Apply from Canada — no need to travel to Portugal or visit a Finanças office in person.

Fast turnaround

Most NIFs are issued within a few business days once documentation is complete.

Secure process

Your personal data is handled with discretion and stored securely throughout.

Included in full visa support

NIF application is bundled at no extra cost when you choose Full Visa & NIF Application Support.

The process

Three simple steps.

1

Book a consultation

Tell us about your visa goals and NIF needs. We'll identify the right pathway — D7, Golden Visa, Digital Nomad, or NIF-only.

Receive your visa roadmap

We deliver a tailored plan with timelines, document checklists, and clear next steps for your specific situation.

3

Submit with confidence

Organized documents, NIF in hand, and guided support throughout the application process — clear, calm, and methodical.
