AIMA Appointment, NISS and Health Insurance by PaulDukey
Hi all, My AIMA appointment is next month and I don't have a health insurance within Portugal. Could someone confirm that it is needed for my AIMA and more importantly then, how to go about getting one. Thanks.
@PaulDukey You mean the public health care system ? It's not that it's bad, it's that you have to wait for a very long time and stand in line. There are not enough doctors in the public sector. Read More
IRS Portugal by juliajonesjy
Is it customary for the IRS in Portugal (the AT) to just shoot you an email ? It looks strange to me that they just do that.Julia
@JohnnyPT Interesting. Thank you. For the IMI, I paid at a Paystore with that 'Nota de Cobranca' and I guess I didn't see that second reference to pay the bill in full for the year. It's more convenient to pay it in full so you don't have to worry ... Read More

@PaulDukey Yes it's needed. You need to get a private health insurance such as Fidelidade, Allianz, Medis, or whatever will cover you in Portugal in case you get sick.Julia Read More

Allianz vs M茅dis Health Insurance by lunabelle33
Hi everyone,I'm in the process of choosing a health insurance plan. I looked at Allianz, M茅dis and Victoria. Also took at look at Cigna, which offers the most comprehensive coverage but is too pricey. I think we'll end up choosing either ...

Hey, I am trying to arrange a move over to Portugal in summer 2025. I have been given the green-light by my company to be hosted in Portugal via an EOR. However, the thought of potentially being taxed at 48% is a bit of a shocker! Does anyone know ...
