⏱The timeframes shown are in business days. We prepare and file your application — the analysis and the decision belong to the Autoridade Tributária (the Portuguese Tax Authority), which does not decide applications in order of arrival. Some are issued faster than our estimate, others take longer. We follow up on every case directly with the AT.
