For foreign residents in Portugal without a Citizen Card, the tax address change can be done online via the Tax Authority’s website or in person at any Tax and Customs Authority branch. Once the request is performed, a confirmation code letter will be sent to your new address to complete the alteration process.
Portuguese nationals, individuals with a Citizen Card or Identity Card, must handle their tax address change directly through the respective card, not at the Tax Office.
