eGates in Portugal?s airports are now open in Lisbon, Porto, Faro and Funchal, which will help to ease the entrance of British passport holders.
The new system, featuring four eGates, ensures faster and more effective border control for arrivals, including from the United Kingdom.
Luis Araujo, President of Turismo de Portugal said: ?We are delighted to continue welcoming British tourists to Portugal and are pleased that the eGates in the country?s main airports will provide increased accessibility for our valued British travellers, as we head into the busy summer period. We?re delighted to have made travel to Portugal even more seamless for those able to make the most of the new eGates.?
Travellers to mainland Portugal are no longer required to complete a Passenger Locator Form and masks are only mandatory on public transport (including taxis and aircraft) and when entering hospitals, care homes and similar services.
