Foreign investors wishing to incorporate a company in Portugal can now do it in just 30 minutes at the new “Company IN”.
The ‘Company IN’ branch was created, which is located in the National Register of Legal Persons in Lisbon, where any foreigner who wants to set up a company in Portugal can now do so in just 30 minutes.
After the creation of the government platform ‘Portugal IN’, which aims to attract British investment to the Portuguese territory, the portugues government decided to extend the project to all foreigners who are interested in establishing themselves in Portugal.
With this pilot project, “Company IN”, foreigners can now book an appointment with an English-speaking employee at the “Empresa na Hora”.
