Portugal drops all Covid entry requirements

As high summer approaches, visitors to the country no longer need to show proof of vaccination or a negative test to be allowed in

Portugal has become the latest country to drop all Covid travel restrictions, so British tourists no longer need to show proof of vaccination or take a test. The country previously required all travellers to show either proof of vaccination or a negative PCR/antigen test, but this has changed with the new rules coming into effect immediately.

The Visit Portugal website said the rules applied to all national territory", including the Azores and Madeira, but that the measures could be reviewed in accordance to the evolution of the pandemic". Face coverings remain mandatory on public transport, in taxis and when visiting care homes, nursing homes and health facilities. Social distancing and frequent hand washing are still advised.
