There is little doubt that Portugal is a “safe destination” for tourists and it is something that we residents here are proud of.
Much work goes into keeping the country safe through the collective work of the police and other law enforcement agencies, civil government, supplemented by non-government agencies and private security. Safe Communities, Portugal, and others.
As you can imagine, this is a great place to stay. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. Also with an active night life in some popular restaurants and bars, it is important to take care not to “over indulge” in drinking which can lesson your guard – situations which can be exploited by criminals.
Like many tourist destinations, there is a need to be aware of the fake websites (usually based overseas) offering bogus holiday accommodation. A good way to check out suspicious websites is to visit Scamadvisors.com as well as our Villa Letting – Fraudulent website page
The following pages have been translated from French to Portuguese. Please take the opportunity to familiarize yourself with the advice provided.
There are currently 84 overseas Embassies and 176 Consulates in Portugal. Should you need help on your trip to Portugal, the Embassy / Consulate can be found here .
Cases have been brought to our attention recently where travellers, who have previously reported their passport missing or stolen in their own country, but subsequently found and used it to travel to Portugal, have had it seized by immigration upon arrival.
Once you have declared your travel document as lost or stolen to your national authorities, it is cancelled and considered invalid. The details of the document are passed on to INTERPOL and entered into their stolen or lost travel documents (SLTD) database.
Border officials in INTERPOL’s member countries can screen passenger information directly against the SLTD database.
If you try to travel with an invalid document, entry or boarding is denied. The travel document is seized to prevent its future use and you cannot travel.
If you have reported your passport lost or stolen, but subsequently find it you should report this to the issuing authority and apply for a new one. Do not attempt to travel with a document that you have reported as lost or stolen.
Going on holiday is an exciting time, experiencing new cultures, new environments and all the attractions different places have to offer.
