Requesting your NIF includes one year of fiscal representation. This representation automatically renews at €100/year if you do not change your address in your NIF to a Portuguese address. Or, you can choose to cancel this representation when you become a Portugal tax resident and update your address in your NIF. To do this, you must notify the Finançes in the same form where you change your address. Just read these instructions.
