Americans allowed to travel to Portugal for non-essential purposes
From the 15th June onwards, all U.S. citizens with a negative Covid-19 test are allowed to travel to Portugal for non-essential purposes.
The negative tests must be either:
- A Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (NAAT), such as a Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) test or similar, up to 72 hours before departure;
Or
- A Rapid Antigen Test (TRAg), performed up to 48 hours before departure.
Those who do not comply with such measure will have to be tested upon arrival, inside the airport, at their own expense, and are subject to an administrative offence. Since these measures are reviewed every two weeks, this information is valid until the 27th June.
Moreover, Americans who are already fully vaccinated at least 14 days prior to flying, with one of the vaccines approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), and hold a vaccination certificate, are also allowed to enter the country.
