“Between December 1 and 15, they entered the country without a test, that is, the number of infraction notices is 1,274 and 36 companies are involved”, explained Mariana Vieira da Silva.
Since December 1, all passengers arriving in Portugal by air are required to present a negative test or recovery certificate upon arrival.
Passengers on domestic flights, children under 12 and crews are exempt from mandatory testing, PCR or rapid.
Airlines that transport passengers without a negative test incur a fine of between 20,000 and 40,000 euros per passenger and travellers are also subject to administrative offenses for not presenting a test upon arrival, which can be fined between 300 and 800 euros.

A big thanks to all the border staff for keeping us safe in Portugal from more covid coming into the country.

Does anyone want to tell Alan that Covid is already present in Portugal?
By SS from Algarve on 18 Dec 2021, 18:43

Looking forward to my visit in September 29-October 5th, 2022. I will present a Negative test on arrival. As for Mr. Brason, from the U.K. take a deep breath, relax!

Firstly I am a different Alan to original post. Try to read, he does state MORE COVID. Have you people learned nothing in 2 years? If you let this virus run free we get more variants. It is the typical arrogance of the English that results in 90,000 new cases a day. Try thinking about others. We need to get the rest of the world vaccinated if we are to get back to anything like normality.

It seems odd to me that someone would move to a country where society, and the form of goverment, is based on people looking out for each other and complain that the government is doing just that. It's like being angry that people speak Portuguese or eat bacalhau. There are many places where mask flaunting and calling a deadly virus a runny nose are wildly popular, and people and viruses are "free" to do as they please. Perhaps one should go enjoy the rest of the pandemic there instead of being "imprisoned" and generally resentful here?

Susan - you really sum it all up. Thank you for your comment.

It seems plain to me, being one of those 1200+ passengers that Portugal didn't quite make it clear until 15th December that self testing wasn't allowed, does anyone really believe that Michael O'Leary and his fellow Airline CEOs would voluntary donate thousands of Euros to the Portuguese Government, a simple note on the locator form or covid rules could have stated "self testing not allowed" Ryanair checked all my documents before we left the UK and deemed them OK , I never attempted to enter without a test I just had the wrong one

Firstly, thank you to ‘The Portugal News’ for providing news and more so reading the comments of other readers, hilarious at times.
I see a lot of finger pointing and blame here, yet, England and Portugal have been the best of friends for over 600 years, England has always loved Portugal and still does, that is why so many British come here and live here.
Remember that Portugal and England fought wars together to drive out Spanish and French invasions of Portugal, so that Portugal and the Portuguese could live freely, this is why the English love the Portuguese people and Country itself.
So stop bickering people, crack open another Sagres and enjoy each other and remember those that fought for our freedom as we must fight together to retain it.
