They also sent me some questions this week asking about 5k I sent from Coinbase. For now it's reasonable. Told them the payments were from my company and they asked for some sample invoices. If it ends with that, I'm fine. There are EUR 20 in the account right now.

I know it will still take some time until this becomes a law, but if you were planning to apply, better move fast. Most local source I could find: https://www.jornaldenegocios.pt/...
