Portugal is a Schengen country, but note that EU members such as Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Ireland and Romania are not part of the Schengen area, so a passport or ID card is required to travel to/from these countries. Industrial action may occasionally occur, resulting in travel delays and disruptions. Stay vigilant and follow the instructions of your airline or tour operator if you find that you are affected. The validity of the European Health Insurance Card is guaranteed until October 2021 and, although it is possible that it will be extended, the Minister of Foreign Affairs stressed the need for travel insurance with broader coverage. I will fly from the UK to Portugal on May 22 and return on May 25. I have a Spanish passport that expires on June 11. I cannot renew it because the Spanish consulate is on strike.

Entry will be allowed as I understand that some airlines do not allow travel. Flights to and from southern African countries, namely Botswana, Essuatini, Lesotho, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe, are suspended. All passengers from these countries and Mozambique, or who present a passport with check-out within 14 days prior to arrival in Portugal, must complete 14 days of prophylactic isolation at home or at a place indicated by the health authorities. Prophylactic isolation may be discontinued if a negative test (NAAT or TRAg) is performed on day 3. It does not apply to people staying on the Portuguese mainland for a maximum of 48 hours. These passengers must undergo an RT-PCR (TAAN) or rapid laboratory antigen test (TRAGg) for COVID-19 upon arrival at the airport. These measures also apply to citizens entering the national territory by sea or land, subject to the necessary adaptations. It is also no longer necessary to quarantine after contact with someone with COVID. You don`t need to present an EU Covid digital certificate when you enter a restaurant, club or bar, which means you no longer need a vaccine or test to enter those premises.

Also, some private hospitals may not accept EHIC, so you should contact the hospital administrator beforehand. The last update of this page of August 29 no longer requires masks on public transport. We arrive on 4.8. by plane to Portugal. We are fully vaccinated and strengthened (and have our card). Do we still need a COVID test to participate? If so, 48 or 72 hours before entry? Since 1 January 2021, with the end of the transition period following the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union, there have been some changes regarding travel between Portugal and the United Kingdom.
