I went to our local citizen's office and the nice lady said that she would be able to process the renewal.

Re: Driving licence expiring

The error code was the doc 1, I have emailled the IMTT support line. In the meantime, there's a citizen's shop just down the road. I'll go and have a chat.

Re: Driving licence expiring

I've been able to.register on the website but the licence isn't found. I suspect it's because the licence was issued about 7 years ago, prior to the facility to apply online.

Re: Importing personal items to Portugal

You're right of course, it's largely stuff that if I had to buy again new would run into the small £1000s but second hand value would be not be much at all. I had thought about getting a value from...

Re: Importing personal items to Portugal

I think 'thanks' is the appropriate response. A large PITA. Brexit - the gift that keeps on giving.

Re: The weather up north!

Re: wind-chill in Portugal

A cold country with hot sun is spot on. Winters are surprisingly harsh. East wind tends to be the worst. I'm sure we all know the saying about bad winds and bad marriages coming from the East. ...

Re: COVID TESTING FOR ENTERING ENGLAND

Not actually a test for entering but rather a test to be taken after arrival. Interesting how the UK government's guidance consistently elides England and the UK.

Re: Brexit - Residency - new Biometric cards - slight update

A bit strange as I spoke to a SEF officer at Lisbon airport last week and he said that they have already started to be issued and he had actually seen them at the border control!
