UK holidaymakers can skip Covid test for Portugal

Vaccinated travellers to Portugal can now skip a Covid-19 test to enter the country, according to the latest Foreign Office advice. Holidaymakers will need to present a NHS Covid vaccination certificate.
Until recently Portugal did not accept the NHS Covid vaccination certificate as proof of vaccination and arrivals from the UK has to present a negative test. An EU digital Covid vaccination certificate is also accepted.
Unvaccinated travellers must still take a lateral flow test within 48 hours of arrival.
