Hi everyone,

So, looking at moving to Portugal with my partner this year. We are Australians but also are both EU citizens (Ireland and England). I've looked through the forum but I'm still a little confused so apologies if this is doubling up. Basically,
1. If we are EU citizens, what is the first step we should take. (bank account, residency card (can you get this if you are living in a room in a share house etc)
2. Health insurance (what type of health insurance do we need to have in order to get the residency card? As I said, we are both apart of the EU but I'm not sure how that works with needing to show something to get the residency card.

Any help would be amazing!

Thanks!

Hi,
I ve moved to Portugal from Turkey,since I am a citizen of a non European country it is more difficult for me.
But as I ve learned from immigration office first of all you should apply for getting a fiscal number
and there are companies that can help you
