If you entered Portugal before 03/06/2024, you can request a Manitação de Intersse to regularize your status.

The Law No. 40/2024 was published on November 7, 2024, which made an exception to the end of the Expression of Interest.

Those who entered Portugal and were already registered with Social Security before June 3, 2024, the date of Decree-Law No. 37-A/2024, which revoked the possibility of requesting an expression of interest.

As the Law is very recent, the procedure for requesting an expression has not yet been published, but it is already a relief for those who were caught off guard by the end of the expression of interest.

Therefore, if you entered Portugal and already had a NISS before June 3, 2024, get in touch and find out if you can submit your expression of interest.
