The decision of the Portugal government will save hundreds of Portuguese Escudo as no PCR or antigen tests will be done anymore. A passenger locator form is also not required anymore to take entry into mainland Portugal and Madeira.
However, there is an exception for the people visiting the Azores.
British citizens visiting the Azores must need to show a certificate of being fully vaccinated at the time of check-in. Apart from this, if you are fully vaccinated but not carrying a certificate for it and airline staff allows you to travel to the Azores without proof then you have to undergo a COVID-19 test at your own expense on arrival at the airport.
Additionally, if a passenger is not fully vaccinated then they have to show a negative RT PCR test done within 72 of Check-in to the airport. Along with this, a rapid lateral flow test done within 24 hours of check-in or a valid proof of recent recovery certificate is also necessary to show.
