EU resident - NISS
Hello fellow expats,
I will be permanently moving to Lisbon as of July. I already have temporary address (non-CRUE), so NIF should not be an issue to get sorted out.
However, while applying for a job, they require me to already have NISS sorted out - per my research and information on the internet NISS can be only arranged once work contract is secured, and that it is usually employer who arranges NISS for EU expats.
This creates interesting paradox, where I cannot get a NISS if I do not have contract, but they won't give me contract if I do not have NISS?? :D Furthermore, without contract i cannot arrange neither CRUE.
Did anyone of you had to deal with this? If so, how did you resolve this?
Reasons why I am moving here are personal and not economical, I have friends here, I like the local culture and people and would love to contribute to the local economy rather than the one of my origin (the money there gets imidiately pocketed by the politicians and nothing ever gets done or improved)
