Re: AZ vaccine batch numbers AZ4120Z001/2/3 OK for Entry to Pt?

Yes it looks like Portugal is not going to shift its stance on the "Indian" batch of the AZ vaccine. Spain and Greece have allowed it. Bizarrely, Madeira also accepts it - so you could in principal...

Re: Apartment sold in just 3 weeks!

Re: Apartment sold in just 3 weeks!

Re: Apartment sold in just 3 weeks!

I was thinking it might take anything from 6 months to a year to sell - in which case we would have had to give power of attorney to my (Portuguese) father-in-law to sell in our absence. But I was...

Re: Criminal check

You need to go to the "campus de justica" nearest to you. The cost is 9 Euros. You will need to provide proof of ID, address - and the original notice or letter that requested the criminal check....

Has this always been happening, but simply never reported in national newspapers - or have laws tightened up significantly in the past 6 months ?

I've worked here for 9 years now. As I have mentioned before in the forum - while jobs aren't impossible to find - it is a very hard graft getting one. Without the language, even more so. Graduates...

Re: Fresh (or Frozen) Meat Cash & Carry?

Galinha is likely to be old egg laying hen that's come to the end of its...."useful" life.

Frango on the other hand is a young rooster or broiler.

Re: re-exchanging PT drivers licence back to UK

Hadn't thought of that. Thanks. Even if the turn-around time at the DVLA is a couple of weeks, no worries as I can get by with a hire car during that time (if necessary).
