I'm moving to another EU country: what do I need to do?

Curated answer from the topic «Living in another EU country».

  • Register as a resident in the destination country — usually, after 3 months you must request the local registration certificate.
  • Update your tax address: if you stop being a tax resident in Portugal, make the change on the Portal das Finanças (Tax Authority portal).
  • Check whether your Portuguese driving licence needs to be exchanged and see how your situation with the Segurança Social (Social Security) is affected — coordination rules are European.
  • If you are posted abroad by a Portuguese company, you may need the A1 document.
