  • Proof of Purchase (Invoice)
  • Certificate of Conformity (COC)
  • Roadworthiness Certificate (IPO)
  • Portuguese Residency Card & Tax ID (NIF)

2. The Process

  • Customs & IMTT: Visit the local office to start the application.
  • ISV (Import Tax): Pay the specific vehicle tax based on CO2 emissions.
  • VAT: Required for new cars (if not paid in EU).
  • Inspection: Undergo the IPO technical inspection.
