Hi Johnny
Thanks
Actually I have an appointment for the
CREU for 30th april. But in the mean time i cannot apply for social security? I plan to start as free lancer on may 3rd. I know that for the.forst year i am exempted from social security contribution but can i start without social security registration and only with tax registration.
Thanks

Also i was looking for somemprofessional for that because not speaking portuguese is difficult to deal with bureaucracy above all for.social sevuirity

Ciao Caligiu,

I think that it won't be a problem at all. Send all the documentation by email, mentioning everything that you have said here, i.e. that you are exempt in the first year, that you start the activity on 3rd May and that, due to the pandemic, town hall will only attend you on next 30th April.

Regarding professional services to these matters, you can always require a Solicitor. The Solicitor represents and advises/guides citizens and companies, towards public administration agencies, including Social Security.

Please choose one near where you live, in the following link.
