A NIF is an identification number used for tax and official matters in the country. You need it for many everyday things, such as opening a bank account, renting or buying a home, or setting up electricity and water. British and other non-EU citizens also need it before they can apply for a residence visa.
Having a NIF does not mean you live in the country officially. Being a resident (someone who legally lives in the country and pays tax there) is a separate thing. Every resident has a NIF, but not everyone with a NIF is a resident.
There are different kinds of NIF, and the right one depends on your situation. A local lawyer handles the whole process:

He is excellent at what he does, and I really appreciated the opportunity to use remote services. He answered all my questions and helped solve my problem, and his English was perfect.
My lawyer is a Godsend. He is trustworthy, diligent, knowledgeable, persistent and sincere, and punctual when it comes to replying to emails. I wholeheartedly recommend contacting him if you need legal representation in Portugal.
The lawyer and her team responded to our inquiry straight away and stayed just as responsive for the entire service. Her team clearly grasped our needs and objectives, and thanks to their network of established local contacts they achieved our goals on time, with professionalism and competence. She always offered to be available, herself or through her team, for any questions or concerns we had, and she has kept in touch to support us throughout the visa process, in English that was flawless. She clearly exceeded our expectations. We are completely satisfied, and we will no doubt have further legal matters in the future and have no hesitation in asking her to help us with all sorts of Portuguese legal questions. All in all, a fantastic job, and a huge thanks to the team and the service.
