Travelling to/from UK
Since 1 January 2021, with the end of the transition period following the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union, there have been some changes regarding travelling between Portugal and the United Kingdom.
This information is not binding. We recommend checking the legislation in force or official websites.
1. Passengers travelling from the United Kingdom to Portugal
What documents do I need?
People from the UK will have to travel with a passport valid for at least ten years on the date of entry into Portugal and valid until at least three months after the date of departure from the country.
Tourists do not need visas for stays of up to 90 days during a period of six months.
Passport controls on arrival at Portugal may take up more time, as the passport will have to be stamped and there are additional questions that may be asked by the border control officers.

Travelling with pets
In order to travel with pets, people from the UK will have to get their pet passport at least four months in advance.
The airline you are travelling with should confirm if they accept pets and how many you can take if you have more than one. Apart from having a microchip, pets also need a rabies vaccination and an Animal Health Certificate – AHC.

Baggage
Baggage belonging to passengers coming from the United Kingdom may be submitted to physical customs controls.
The European Union has restrictions on the entry of products of plant and animal origin. You can check the information on exceptions and limits here.
Plant products may not be brought into the country without the appropriate phytosanitary certificate. More detailed information here.

Shopping and VAT refunds
UK residents may now get VAT refunds on purchases made in Portugal. Find out how to do this here.
Considering that products in Portugal are 5 to 10% cheaper than in the United Kingdom on average, the additional advantage of Tax Free shopping will be a very important attraction for UK tourists.
There have also been restrictions on the limits of tax free goods taken to the United Kingdom since 1 January 2021. More information here.
Healthcare
The European Health Insurance Card will still be accepted until it has expired.
Although travel insurance should be considered, healthcare services are available at fixed prices to tourists visiting Portugal through the Portugal Health Passport. More information here.
More information:
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/foreign-travel-insurance
Driving in Portugal
Driving licences issued in the United Kingdom are valid in Portugal for a maximum period of 185 days.
More information:
Using mobile phones
The roaming guarantee has ended. The amount to be paid for calls, text messages and mobile data when you travel to Portugal should be confirmed with your operator.
2. Passengers travelling from Portugal to the United Kingdom
What documents do I need?
From 2 April 2025, Portuguese citizens will have to obtain an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) to travel to the UK.
In addition to the ETA, a passport is required, which must remain valid for the duration of the stay. Visas are not required for short visits of up to six months.
More information:
https://www.gov.uk/check-uk-visa/y/portugal/tourism
Travelling with pets
The airline you are travelling with should confirm if they accept pets and how many you can take if you have more than one. Apart from having a microchip, pets also need a rabies vaccination and an Animal Health Certificate – AHC, which can be used up to four months after issue.
To avoid a period of quarantine, you should ensure that your pet meets the requirements of the Pet Travel Scheme.

Baggage
Passengers travelling to the United Kingdom may carry a certain amount of items without paying taxes. The goods acquired must be for own consumption or gifts.
For further information on the maximum quantities of alcohol and tobacco that may be transported tax free, check here
The United Kingdom does not permit products of animal origin (meat, milk and derived products) or plant products (seeds, plants, fruit, vegetables, flowers, etc.) from European Union countries to be brought into the country, but there are exceptions provided certain requirements are met. You can check the rules for bringing in food and plants here.
Passengers travelling from Portugal to the United Kingdom with more than £10,000 in cash need to fill in a declaration on arrival. This can also be done online here.

VAT refunds for foreign passengers in shops in the United Kingdom no longer exists for goods transported with the passenger.

Travelling with children
Turn every trip into a fun adventure
Taking children on a plane trip does not have to be a difficult endeavour. You just have to prepare and anticipate trickier situations, so that everything runs smoothly and all of you have fun. Follow our suggestions and enjoy your trip.
Download the document with tips for traveling with children.
-
I'm about to purchase a trip. Any tips?
When making your reservation, inform your airline or travel agent that you will be travelling with children. They may give you a few suggestions, such as booking an overnight flight, so that children maintain their regular sleep cycle, or booking window seats.
-
Which documents are required?
Children must have their own Citizen's Card/Identity Card and Passport, if applicable, always at hand.
Note that, when validating the age of all children under two years, their birth certificate, may not be accepted by the airline, as it does not include a photo.
Once at the airport, remember that all children (even those travelling on your lap, without seat reservation) must have a boarding pass.
Also take into account that a 7-day old child travelling with TAP must be cleared by a physician appointed by TAP (clearance from the child's regular physician is not sufficient). This procedure may differ for other companies.
In such situation, keep in mind that the airline's authority prevails, and your child may be refused boarding.
-
The child is not accompanied by the parents. Is any extra documentation required?
Yes. More information here.
-
What do I need to do before travelling?
A few days before boarding, explain to your children what they need to do and what they will go through before getting to the plane. Explain this in a positive way, so they do not feel any fear or discomfort, but highlight that it is important that they remain close to you.
Air travel can be stressful for kids, particularly in the case of long-haul flights. The dry air and low atmospheric pressure in the cabin can cause anxiety, and the lack of space to play can also cause irritability.
In order to make sure everything is ready for the trip, visit the paediatrician. This way you can be sure that your children are feeling well and/or have the necessary vaccines for the trip.
If a child is ill, for example, with chickenpox or measles, you are obliged to inform the airline prior to your trip, in order to know the acceptance conditions.
Bring chewing gum and hard candy, which may be necessary to relieve ear pain.
Make sure the children remain hydrated. The most advisable beverages, other than water, are fruit juices or tea. Avoid carbonated drinks, as these have a diuretic effect. If you need to transport liquids as cabin baggage, please be aware of the restrictions applicable.
-
We have arrived at the airport. What now?
The airport is a vast space, with lots of people circulating. Your main focus should be on keeping your children near you and ensuring that they are acclimated and at ease.
A few suggestions:
- Bring suitable clothing to mitigate temperature differences between the airport, the plane and your destination.
- Arrive early, so you can handle everything without haste. Be at the airport two hours earlier for domestic and European flights, and three hours earlier for intercontinental flights.
- Normally, passengers with children are allowed to board first. For this to happen, you must get to the gate before boarding starts.
- Never leave your children unattended, even to go to the bathroom. If you lose sight of your children, ask a staff member for help.
- At the airport there are several entertainment options for children, including watching the planes land and take off. Keep them active, so they will be quieter and calm during the flight.
- If you require a pushchair right until boarding, the airline will check it in at the gate, and put it in the cargo hold. It will be returned to you once you arrive at your destination. Please note that most airlines are not liable for any damages occurring before check-in.
- All passengers must go through the X-ray scanning, including children. Only infants may go through with their parents. Remember that hand baggage must also pass through the security checkpoint. To find out what you may carry with you, see the page with information concerning hand baggage.
- If the child is in a pushchair, put them on your lap instead, and before passing the pushchair through the X-ray, remove all the equipment and items from all bags and place them in the appropriate trays for inspection.
-
I am travelling with a child who requires special care. What should I know?
Ensuring the well-being and tranquility of children with special needs is crucial. Therefore:
- Inform the security officer of the existence of any special medical devices. Present the respective medical certificate or other document.
- If you think your child may be uncomfortable during security check, talk to them and help them find the best way to minimise stress.
- Never leave your child alone during the inspection procedure, even when a specific inspection is necessary.
- The adult travelling with a child in a special device is the only person that is allowed to remove them from such device for inspection.
- If your child cannot walk or stand, the security officer shall perform the inspection while the child remains in the device.
The airport provides the Myway service for passengers with reduced mobility.
When booking, inform your airline of any special assistance service you may require, and the airline will notify the airport. For more information about the MyWay service, see the respective information page.
-
Finally on board!
During the flight, it is important that children remain calm, entertained and safe. For full comfort on board, follow our suggestions:
- Ask a member of the cabin crew to watch your child if you need to go to the bathroom.
- For added comfort, have your child take off their shoes, as their feet may swell due to the high altitude.
- Keep your child occupied during the flight. Bring the child's own toys or ask the airline if they will provide some.
- If your child is using an electronic game, turn off the sound and make sure they are not using it during take-off and landing.
- Once at your destination, wait for other passengers to exit the plane so that you can collect your baggage more comfortably.

How do I book the MyWay service?
You must request this service from your airline or travel agent upon booking your trip, or up to 48 hours before the published time for the departure of the flight. The information will be transmitted by the airline to the relevant airports, to ensure all the assistance is provided.
-
Can I be accompanied by my family or group during special assistance?
If you have booked assistance and are unable to travel through the airport without a carer or companion, we will ensure that one of them can accompany you throughout the entire journey. If you are travelling in a larger group then it would be best to nominate one person to stay with you. Companions may be asked to vacate our mobility equipment should it be required for special assistance passengers.
-
What kind of assistance is provided by MyWay?
MyWay assistance includes a range of services and equipment to make your journey through the airport more accessible.

-
What kind of assistance is provided when the trip begins at the Airport?
Upon arriving at the airport, look for the Designated Point of Arrival – a telephone booth clearly marked with the MyWay logo.
Using the phone, inform the MyWay service of your arrival, for personal and baggage assistance services at check-in, security checkpoint, border and boarding, all the way to your seat on the aircraft, where the airport's responsibility ends.
-
And what kind of assistance can I get when arriving or waiting for a connecting flight at the airport?
When disembarking, the airline or travel agent will notify the MyWay service. All the necessary personal and baggage assistance shall be provided from your seat on the aircraft to the next point of departure.
-
Is the MyWay service properly identified at the airport?
Yes. At the airport, you will find signage directing you to the MyWay service contact points, which identify all and any resources or mechanisms available for people with reduced mobility.
See below where to find this service:
-
Are there special parking spaces for people with reduced mobility?
Yes. Private vehicles bearing the reduced mobility sign have parking available in all of the airport's parks. The designated parking spaces, located near the exits are properly identified.
-
Are guide dogs allowed into the airport?
Yes. Guide dogs are allowed to circulate around the airport, including in boarding terminals. However, you should contact your airline or travel agent to confirm that guide dogs are allowed on the aircraft.
-
Are passengers with reduced mobility also protected?
Yes, passengers with disabilities or reduced mobility are protected against discrimination and, under certain conditions, benefit from the appropriate assistance at all EU airports. See our page on passenger rights to learn more.
