Prepare your trip

Good to know :

First of all, I would like to remind you that it is strongly advised not to travel from one country to another at this time. All travel is strictly supervised from France.

Papers:

The identity card is enough for European residents. You can also use a valid passport if you prefer.

​

Also, get a European health insurance card if necessary to cover medical costs and repatriation.

​

In these times of health crisis, it is also mandatory to perform a 72-hour PCR test before traveling to Portugal. Favor the paper format, it is more accepted by the authorities.

​

For my part, I had to show my negative results the first time when my luggage was checked in, a second time at customs, a third time at boarding and finally a fourth time with Portuguese customs at Lisbon airport.

​

At the moment you can go to Portugal only by air. The ground borders are closed for now. In addition to that, it is imperative for you have an essential reason ( tourism is definitely not ).

​

Once arrived in Portugal, it is an obligation for all the French residents to be placed in isolation for 14 days at his home or in a hotel designated by the authorities.

Regarding your phone, be sure to inquire before traveling.

Depending on the operators , you will be able to use your package for more or less long in the foreign country. Like many travelers, I will advise you to buy a sim card directly in Portugal to avoid any problems.

​

Also check with your bank about the use of your card in Portugal, taxes could be added from the start or after a certain time.
