residency checklist
Going to Portugal in September to sort this out...
Just wanted to check what documents I'll be needing to register my residency at the camara municipal
1. passport
2. Portuguese bank account with sufficient funds (maybe €10,000?), and printouts of UK bank statements showing incoming salary
* QUESTION: any recommendations for a Portuguese bank? Basically the cheapest account available!
3. rental contract
* QUESTION: Does this need to be for three, or six months? Ideally would prefer three but will do six if necessary. Will they accept Air B&B? If so, what proof will I need, in the absence of an actual contract? Is Air B&B the best bet for a medium-term rental like this, or local agencies?
4 health insurance
* QUESTION: is private health insurance required? If so, any recommendations for the cheapest option (no health conditions)?
Many thanks!
