UK passengers do not need to comply with prophylactic isolation in Portugal

The Order No 3838-A/2021 published on April 15th defines that passengers from the United Kingdom are no longer required to comply with the prophylactic isolation period of 14 days, and it is only necessary to provide proof of the negative PCR test.

On the other hand, passengers from Brazil and South Africa and citizens from countries whose incidence rate is equal to or greater than 500 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in the last 14 days, in addition to the presentation of the negative PCR test, remain obliged to comply with the prophylactic isolation period of 14 days after their entry in Portugal. The list of these countries includes Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Cyprus, Croatia, Slovenia, Estonia, France, Hungary, the Netherlands, Poland and Sweden.

In general, flights remain suspended, except for repatriation flights, flights to EU and Schengen countries and flights to and from special administrative countries and regions, whose epidemiological situation is in accordance with the EU recommendation, such as Australia, China, South Korea, New Zealand, Rwanda, Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong and Macau.

The extension of these measures was justified against the context of the epidemiological situation, considering the latest EU recommendations.
