Full guide →

Portugal is open to foreign buyers with no restrictions on ownership. A NIF (tax number) and Portuguese bank account are required, and most buyers engage an independent lawyer to handle searches, contracts, and the public deed.

  1. 1

    Get a NIF

    Apply for a Portuguese tax number (Número de Identificação Fiscal). Non-EU residents need a fiscal representative.

  2. 2

    Open a bank account

  3. 3

  5. 5

    Final searches & funds

  7. 7
