Portugal Travel end of July

[ICECream821]

Sorry if there are a million threads on this I did search. Portugal booked when it was Green. Flights are Ryanair so I know they’ll fly come what may.

DH and I fully vaccinated and kids under 12.

So I know we’ll have to do antigens or PCR.

Travel insurance sorted before we booked. It’s not a package holiday as we have booked SC somewhere we’ve stayed before and they’re generally not attached to holiday companies we can cancel 72 hours before and get money back less than 72 hours we lose our deposit.

Does anyone know if a country goes from Green to Amber what’s covered travel insurance wise re: covid?

spain is also over 12s

So families with 12 - 17 year old kids cant go away then. Here's hoping they allow this age group to be vaccinated then

you've got plenty o countries that ask pcr before landing, pcr on arrival or nothing at all, so it depends whether you must go to a destination or whether you are willing to change your plans.

Spain is allowing non vaccinated adults and teens to avoid quarantine with pcr

Portugal and Malta are not

www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/portugal-quarantine-uk-holiday-vaccination-b1873702.html this article says it doesn't apply to under 12s.

Fingers crossed this is correct but I haven't found anything in the actual portuguese law, gov sites or news that would confirm it. Still terrible for teens. We're going regardless, just need to workout how to manage this....

Perhaps worth ringing the Portuguese embassy in a couple of days

The website of RE-open Europe in my experience has quite a good set of info, kept reasonably updated, with all the links and tools one need reopen.europa.eu/en
