Expiry of cheque
The Allianz sent me a cheque (reimbursement of medical expenses) which my neighbour retrieved from our postbox. I don't know when we will return to Portugal. Any idea how long I have before the cheque expires? Unfortunately she is not fit enough to take it to the bank.

Re: Expiry of cheque
From the Bank of Portugal :
22. Is there any time limit on presenting a cheque for payment? Cheques must be presented for payment within the time limit established in the Uniform Law on Cheques. As a rule, this is eight days from the issue date. Cheques presented for payment after the legal limit has expired may be returned by credit institutions for the following reasons: ‘cheque revogado – apresentação fora do prazo’ (revoked cheque – cheque submitted after expiry date) - upon indication of the payer – or ‘cheque apresentado fora do prazo’ (cheque submitted after expiry date) – upon decision of the credit institution. |

Post from Lisbon for us is taking 4 weeks at the moment.
International post doesn't arrive at all. |
Re: Expiry of cheque
Thanks for all your input. Eight day limit to present a cheque?? That must be a joke🙄. I'll write to the bank and see what they have to say.

Re: Expiry of cheque
We have received Portuguese checks in the past and it is certainly longer than eight days. It was months. Check with Bank.
