I am shortly going to be moving to Portugal as a NHR. I am a UK Citizen and already have Portuguese residency. I do NOT yet have a Portuguese driving license. I will be coming to Portugal to get the apartment ready and I want to drive in Portugal for less than 3 Months. Car hire is really expensive. As I said I have a UK driving license. If I were to buy a car to use just for the 3 months and then sell it. What do I do about tax and insurance on the car? All advice welcome

Hi why would you want to sell your car? Would it not be easier to keep it so you would have a car for each time you came over to Portugal

I agree there is no need to sell the car I could keep the car. But all I was asking was is it possibly for me to buy a car, tax it and insure it using My UK license? Thanks
