Question EU citizen applies a NISS nr without working contract in Madeira
Hi,
I m an EU citizen moved over to Madeira last year and I have officially get the CRUR from Funchal Municipal. However I have not been able to get a NISS nr. I have already been to Serguranca Bureau and Loja Cidadao in Funchal separately, and was told that I couldn't apply a NISS nr if I do not have a proper work contract. But recently I have heard that PT government seems a bit to be more relaxed for foreinger to apply a NISS without contract in order to stimulate the immigrants to integrate into the society and make contribution to the social system. Just wondering if anyone here in Madeira has the same problem / or has experiences similar situation? Any advice would be much appreciated!
