Tax number for my wife - bank account.

Post new topic

Dan Plute

My wife is a USA citizen and I want to add her name to the Portugal bank  account.  I cannot adf her to the bank until I get her a Tax number.   I cannot get the Tax number without proof of residency like a long term lease or rental agreement.  We will only be here until 23 March.  A local attorney wants $100.00 per month as a representation fee.  I estimate the rep fee will cost me Euro 600.09 to 700.00.  ANY SUGGESTIONS OR A WORK-AROUND FOR THIS ISSUE?  THANK YOU.  Dan

Unless it's sharing personal details (Telephone numbers etc...)  its always nice to share out in the open as it may well help others in the same predicament.

Thank you.  Your price is very high for a couple hours of work.  We received info from 2 other sources witb less cost.  We have a bank account.

Do you own a property in Portugal?

I Got a tax number before having a residency as you can not get the residency if you don't have an account number.
