NISS (social security number)
The number every job and every doctor's visit needs, done before you land.
Needed to work legally and to register with the public health service.
For anyone starting work, registering with the SNS or being hired by a Portuguese employer.
When you need a NISS
Usually the step straight after your NIF, and often the one people discover late.
