Cartão de cidadão

The Cartão de Cidadão Citizen Card in Portugal is about to change. The idea is to make it more similar to that of the other countries in the European Union.

Ever wanted to be Portuguese? Have you lived in the country for a while now and are thinking of making it permanent? Or maybe you’re a British citizen uncertain of your status in Portugal after Brexit?

Whether you’re planning to move to Portugal permanently or you’re just staying for a few months, it may be necessary to open a bank account for even the most basic transactions. Luckily, it’s really simple to do, as we explain in this article.

There’s always loads of legal stuff involved in buying any property, but as a foreigner in Portugal you’ll have extra paperwork to do.
