Nortada, reason for wanting an NIF is to get a health service number in the future.
We were going to wait until we got to the Algarve and change our Residencia address. But the NIF number does not have to be linked to a Portuguese address if you do it through an EU address.

I think you need Portuguese residency for health registration but not for NIF.
We have had visitors that have had excellent treatment here for only the registration cost - some €14 IIRC with chest X rays etc BUT I think that will not cover ongoing treatment say for cancer.
