As someone who appreciates well-organized services, I was genuinely impressed by Touchdown. They helped me obtain my NIF and navigate some rather complex tax requirements for expats in Portugal. The team kept me informed at every stage and handled everything with such professionalism. I'm grateful to have found a service that truly understands the needs of newcomers to Portugal. Ended up saving a whopping 30% in taxes thanks to their international tax team. Really impressive stuff.

So so easy! Thank you guys. I've had endless bad experiences with lawyers over the years, but you somehow made this so straightforward. Did the NHR scheme all from outside Portugal. Recommend to all other digital nomads.
