The NISS registration, Social Security Identification Number, is available digitally for foreign citizens who want to work in Portugal!

So, if you don't have Portuguese citizenship, but work in the country and want to have Social Security rights, stay tuned!

After all, NISS is essential for getting a job. Furthermore, it brings the opportunity to enjoy other rights, not just labor rights.

Thus, from that year onwards, any foreign citizen can make a request using a form on the Social Security website! Want to know more? Keep reading and understand how it works!

Well, the NISS, Social Security Identification Number, is the number that allows you to be recognized by Social Security and access all employment benefits.

In the case of Portuguese citizens, the NISS is already assigned when the Citizen Card is requested. However, foreign citizens need to register with the NISS to be able to work in the country.

So, until recently, the order could only be placed in person, but now you can order digitally. Not very practical? This is an attempt to reduce the bureaucratization of the Portuguese State!

Furthermore, with your NISS in hand, you can try to obtain your Residence Permit in the country. Not to mention access to Social Security rights, such as unemployment insurance.

Any citizen who does not have a Citizen Card, or a foreigner who has not yet applied for the NISS, can register digitally.

Additionally, you can apply for NISS as another person's legal representative! But, to do this, you need to send a document that authorizes you to be a legal representative! You can find this declaration on the Social Security website.

Likewise, employers can also make the request as legal representatives of their employees!

Furthermore, when collecting your NISS, it is not possible to send legal representatives. This must be done by the applicant himself! So stay tuned!

What did you think of the information about the new NISS digital registration for foreigners? Well, now it's easier to make your request with the completely digital process.
