Re: exchanging driving licence - where and when to make appointment?

So sorry to hear this too. I know someone who just walked in to the Faro office, albeit 14 months ago before Covid, and had it processed there and then, and walked out with a new plastic licence in...

Re: exchanging driving licence - where and when to make appointment?

This hasn't happened to me and mine's through the Braganza branch.

That's awful. So presumably you must have a temporary Pgs licence?

Re: exchanging driving licence - where and when to make appointment?

Yes, exactly the same for me - DVLA offered posting to UK or Portugal, so I chose the latter, and advised 2 weeks.

Re: exchanging driving licence - where and when to make appointment?

Well, I did my online application back in 23.10.20, and on 17.11.20 got email from IMT Braganca (I'm the other end of Portugal in the Algarve!) asking for the 30 euro payment within 10 days, yet...

Re: exchanging driving licence - where and when to make appointment?

So this Portuguese law says under (1) that pre-existing conditions are considered to be covered by the insurer, but can also be excluded by agreement. ...

Re: Experience public health care

I am showing my ignorance here, but I am baffled! So you could have a pre-existing condition, like a bad back. Never been diagnosed, but you've been to the doctor occasionally, over a few years, for...

Re: Buy to let in UK or Portugal

On the other hand, I can also understand Deejakes wanting to get themselves installed in Portugal before Brexit, in case there is anything that they could be excluded from after that.

Re: Buy to let in UK or Portugal

Dont forget the actual costs of applying for NHR status either, which should be factored into your Buy2let venture. I have recently been quoted €1,000 to €2,000 for this.
