Aussies entering Portugal

[Jude Rich]

I’m leaving to start the Portugues coastal in a few days. Just wondering if Aussies need to fill in any forms beforehand when arriving into Porto? I’ve read they do for Spain.

Check your own government advisories on foreign travel. They are likely to be more relevant and up to date than “I have read”.

The Sherpa site is good for up to date information on requirements for different destinations.

The doesn't seem to be any requirement to complete forms, like the Passengar Locator Form, any longer. The key resources that I use are Smartraveller and the Visit Portugal site. The Portuguese embassy in Australia site will refer you to that latter site in any case. The Visit Portugal link will take you to a page of useful information, which has a section on entry formalities.

Have just spent two weeks in Portugal. I’m from Sydney. No forms required.

Thank you for answering!!!! That is exactly the information I was chasing. That makes it very easy for sure.

With a couple of weeks to go, you are probably within the decision cycle should there be any changes to the arrival requirements. That said, I would still be monitoring the Portuguese government websites. I would commend @Tincatinker's advice earlier in the thread.

If you haven't already done so, subscribe to the Smartraveller alerts for Portugal, Spain and wherever else you are going in Europe, and you will get early warning if there have been changes. The advice on Portugal has changed regularly recently, almost always in a positive way for Australians travelling there.
