UK New Residence Permit
4 January 2021
Under the recent regulations, SEF (Portuguese Immigration and Borders Service) released new rules for UK nationals residing in Portugal before 31st December 2020.
A new Residence Permit will be issued replacing the EU Registration Certificates previously issued by the Town Halls. After an initial registration, the applicant should attend an appointment for biometrics-collection (photograph, signature and fingerprints) in order to obtain a new Residence Permit.
Appointments can be scheduled from January 2021 and until at least June 2021, and will take place at the Town Hall (Câmara Municipal) serving the applicant's current region of legal residence.
