Another disappointment for Portugal regarding the arrival of the Dutch.
This is because the Dutch government decided to remove Portugal from its list of areas designated as "safe" (Orange color) in the framework of the covid-19 pandemic.
Ou seja, a partir de hoje (16) the Netherlands advising its citizens, vaccinated or unvaccinated, conducting tourist trips to the Portuguese mainland.
This decision also covers Spain, including the Spanish Canary and Balearic Islands, and Cyprus, which become inadvisable destinations for non-essential travel.
For the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, all Dutch citizens traveling to these destinations need to have a full vaccination certificate for, pelo menos, 14 dias, or recovery from covid-19 disease.
Otherwise, and for unvaccinated people, a negative covid-19 test is required before returning to Dutch territory.
People who are already in these destinations must present proof when they return to the Netherlands from next Sunday.
