UK nationals who have been legally living in Portugal before
December 31, 2020 when the UK withdraws from the EU may continue to
live, study, and work in Portugal through rights established
through the Withdrawal Agreement. UK nationals who are residents of
Portugal by the end of the Brexit transition will be covered by the
Withdrawal Agreement, and their rights will be protected if they
remain a resident. UK nationals should make sure they are
registered as residents.
Entry and Residency Requirements
UK nationals will be able to stay in Portugal if they were
residents before December 31, 2020.
UK nationals who want to stay in Portugal for more than three
months must register as a resident by getting a Registration
Certificate. A Registration Certificate can be requested at the
local Town Hall (Camara Municipal).
