hello,


I need your help again.

So my appointment went well and i got my NIPC number. I guess this is something like ID number but Im not sure. I dont have the card right now but i still dont know if i can travel in Schengen Area with this paper or buy plane ticket using my NIPC. Can you help me ?

@Dogukan Yurttas,


NIPC = número de identificação de pessoa colectiva (ID company / business)

NIF    = número de identificação fiscal (tax number for individuals)


This number is not for travelling. It's exclusively for tax purposes in Portugal.

oh ok thanks for your information. but i still dont have any idea if i can use this Paper that they gave me after the appointment to travel in schengen area, can i?

JohnnyPT

I don't know what your paper says.... it will probably be enough to travel, but you should have enquired about it there when you were given the paper, not here....

@Dogukan,


When this happens, ask to speak to someone who speaks English, use an online translator/ mobile app. Important questions should be asked.... they are obliged to answer. in these services most of them understand English...
