Hi,

I am working for an international company in Lisbon since the beginning of this year.

I have an appointment at Finanças the beginning of February.

I know they need a proof of address. As I do not have a contract in Lisbon. I just pay a room cash. I do not have my name on any of the utility bills either.

But as I understood, the proof of utility I was paying in Belgium would also be good. This because I am not an official resident yet of Portugal and still need to have my official domicilie put here.

So anybody knows that providing a Belgian utility bill of the water or electricity would do for Finanças yes or no as a proof of Belgian address?

Thanks

Tom

You will be able to get a tax number with a Belgium address. But if you are working in Portugal you need to change the address to a Portuguese address - normally the tax authority requests proof of local address - your work contract and the social security registration document should be enough to register with a local address. Once you have a permanent address, you need to alter the tax address to the new address - you can do this remotely
