I used an agency in Castelo Branco, all they did was open a new business in my name, with Finanças and closed it again almost immediately, in the intervening period the NISS was generated. Esforço Notavèl, Rodrigo 934 060 307

Off-grid / preparedness equipment research & recommendations
I am looking into Starlink, battery packs, solar panels, wind turbines, inverters, stoves etc, etc and will share my information here. Ultimate aim is to be able to broadcast Good Morning Portugal! when mains grid power and standard internet are down.

@Carl Munson New member here - my advice on generators is always look for a Honda, their rep for reliability is well deserved and spare parts are easily found. Chinese generators will be good for a season or two. I also have personal experience with a Hyundai diesel generator, push button start and AGC but it was awful, the local distributor stopped supplying them as the failure rate was high, they cost around 2k euros but aren't worth the trouble.
