Hi everyone,

What is the estimated time for bank account opening in Portugal, for someone who is living outside Portugal?

Hi,

I did mine in London by just making an appointment at an MilleniumBCP office there, taking some paperwork/passport/ a few聽 euro to deposit and they opened the account at my chosen bank branch in Portugal based on an UK address, so maybe an hour?聽 ATM card arrived in post a few days later.聽 You probably need a NIF (tax code) beforehand
