Self-employment declaration

You are self-employed and need to declare your work for a residence application.

Declaração de Exercício de Atividade Independente. Lets applicants declare self-employment and income from service contracts, a company or Portuguese self-employment receipts. It records identity, activity and earnings. You receive a blank template to complete, sign and attach to the contracts or receipts specified in the form; it does not register an activity with the tax authority.

We help you get the right form, explain what it is for and guide you through completing it. You receive the blank PDF after paying for the service, without needing to log in to the authority’s portal. Include it with other documents in the same individual request and payment.

This is a blank form, not a certificate or a document issued in your name. The person or organisation specified on the form is responsible for completing and signing it; we do not submit applications, book appointments or guarantee approval. The PedirDocumentos fee covers obtaining and organising the form, explaining its purpose and guidance on completing it. Check the applicable version and requirements with the authority.
