Portugal Investment Immigration Overseas Inspection Guide:
I. Visa Information
Portugal is a member of the Schengen Area.
II. Entry Requirements
As there are currently no direct flights from Portugal to China, if you arrive in Portugal via other Schengen member states, entry procedures will be handled at the port of entry of that Schengen member state. If you arrive in Portugal via a third country that is not a Schengen member state, entry procedures will be handled at the Portuguese port of entry.
III. Customs Regulations
Prohibited items may not be brought into the country.
Personal belongings can generally be brought into Portugal duty-free; daily necessities for personal use, such as household appliances and kitchenware, can also generally be brought in duty-free, limited to 1 item of each type. Clothing, small sundries, and more than 1 item of appliances or kitchenware exceeding personal use will be considered commercial goods and must be declared to customs and taxed.
IV. Medical Conditions and Health Insurance Information (Including Health and Epidemic Prevention Information)
Medical Conditions: Overall, Portugal has good medical and health conditions. Public hospitals (emergency/inpatient) and health centers (convalescence/rehabilitation) provide free medical services to Portuguese citizens and foreign citizens who have obtained Portuguese residency or legal work permits (based on the principle of reciprocity). Foreign citizens visiting Portugal temporarily may use the services of public medical institutions but are not entitled to free treatment.
Health Insurance and Epidemic Prevention Information: There are no malignant endemic infectious diseases in Portugal. Foreign citizens applying for work, study, residence, family reunion, or temporary visas are required to provide a double-certified international health certificate; foreign citizens applying for short-term business, tourism, or family visit visas must provide medical insurance valid during their stay in the Schengen Area (see Visa Information).
V. Security Situation (Including Crime, Recommended Preventive Measures, What to Do in Case of Accidents, etc.)
Crime Situation: The security situation in Portugal is relatively good, with no large-scale serious crimes, but crimes such as robbery and pickpocketing occur from time to time.
Recommended Preventive Measures: Do not carry large amounts of cash; travel documents such as passports should be carried properly. It is best to prepare photocopies of your passport and personal recent photos to be kept separately in case of emergencies; minimize going out after dark. In addition, there are sporadic police blind spots in some areas, especially in large and medium-sized cities, where unemployed individuals, drug addicts, thieves, and robbers often gather; you should avoid entering these areas.
What to Do in Case of Accidents: You can call the free SOS number 112 for help. If you need police assistance, look for the Public Security Police (PSP) in cities; in suburban areas, look for the National Republican Guard (GNR).
VI. Traffic Safety and Travel Precautions
Traffic Safety: Compliance with traffic rules by the Portuguese is average among Western countries. Vehicles and pedestrians generally stay in their respective lanes, but speeds are generally fast, so please be careful.
Travel Precautions:
Driving: You must have your ID (passport), vehicle registration, driver's license, and valid vehicle insurance; violators will be heavily fined; maximum speed limits: 50 km/h in towns, 90 km/h between towns, 100 km/h on motorways, and 120 km/h on highways.
Pedestrians: Pedestrians must use sidewalks and crosswalks; otherwise, if a traffic accident occurs, you will bear 100% responsibility, will not receive any compensation, and will be liable for damages caused to the other party.
