After registration in Portugal everyone is entitled to use, almost free of charge, the Health Public Services (SNS) for the first 90 after your date of arrival, even if you are not working. You only need to pay a registration fee for emergency treatment in the Public Hospitals.

Health insurance is becoming very popular at the moment, and you can find several health policies on offer at the insurance companies or banks, but some of them offer the cover that the Public Service gives free of charge. Once more, asking an Advisor to help in choosing an insurance system is a wise decision.
