I noticed in the testimonials that cover in a specific country is not mentioned while travel throughout the European Union gets a mention in everyone.
Once residency is taken up I have my doubts as to its validity.
If a person kept a UK address and in case of an accident pretended they were a tourist and not a resident, I guess they'd be ok.

Hi, no there seems to be no doubt in Portugal that once you are a resident you need a PT car to comply with the law of the land. Once again though, exactly what constitutes a resident is something of a grey area and I'll save that for a new thread.
