The word from the Portuguese embassy in Haiti

We warmly welcome you to the Embassy of Haiti! Our core objective is to foster diplomatic, cultural, and economic ties between Haiti and the world. Our offerings include consular services, travel guidance, and organizing various cultural events to nurture diversity and global camaraderie.

What type of Consular Representation is the Portugal's Diplomatic Mission in Haiti?

General Consulate - Similar to a Consular Section, a General Consulate acts as a service hub for all consular affairs, under the guidance of a Consul. Typically, these are larger in size and physically detached from the Embassy, though they remain under the Ambassador's oversight. They usually operate in larger non-capital cities with substantial Portuguese diasporas, providing Visa services through VFS or E-Visa, as per the home country's policies.

What are the Portuguese formalities to relocate to Portugal?

Portugal offers several visa options for those looking to relocate from Haiti. Before applying for any visa, you'll need to obtain two essential items:

Portuguese Tax Number (NIF - Número de Identificação Fiscal): This is a unique tax identification number required for financial transactions in Portugal. You can obtain it at any tax office or through a fiscal representative, learn more here.
Portuguese Bank Account: Major banks include Millennium BCP, Novo Banco, and Santander. We can help you getting a bank account in Portugal, learn more here

Here are the main visa types available from Haiti:

D2 Entrepreneur Visa: For individuals planning to start a business or transfer an existing one to Portugal. You must present a viable business plan and demonstrate sufficient financial means. The investment amount varies based on the business type and location.

Most visas initially grant temporary residence, which can be converted to permanent residence after five years. Remember that requirements may change, and processing times vary.

I am so glad I found AnchorLess. Getting a NIF as a non-resident can be a headache and takes a lot of time, AnchorLess made it super simple. Highly recommended, worth the money.
