Portuguese immigration policy for longer than 90 days......This is what I have.......but now we have left the EU I don't know if you can still apply ?

I'll be very interested to see how you get on....we were put off from applying for a Residencia for reasons outlined above , but perhaps we were misinformed.....I shall enquire further!

we did it just in case we got a "no deal" Brexit and we wanted stay more than 90 days in any 180. It only costs a few euro so seemed like a sensible move. Looks as if the Brexit deal will go through today, but it's still 90 days in any 180 though...it would be nice if Portugal, if not EU, granted a...

Hi Widge If you look at https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/portugal/entry-requirements then it says ; Until further notice travel from the UK into Portugal is restricted to Portuguese nationals and foreign citizens with legal residency in Portugal So, would have assumed that the Astestado de R...

Cheers to you all and hopefully we will all meet up again in better times. Very many thanks , as a pair ...

as we will need to reserve places at the cafe.

Be interested to know if you can do this...you always had to queue in the past as they wouldn't take reservations : are they still in the car park, or have they moved back to the market?

To all our walking friends...have as great a Christmas and New Year as you are allowed. Many thanks to those who have kept the CVO Ramblers going in difficult times, especially the leaders. Sue & I have deferred our Jan/Feb trip till March /April in the hope we'll pick up vaccinations in the New Yea...
