Good morning all, I am about to go to Portugal. I have my first residence card on the GV program. What covid tests do I need to do to fly there? Thanks Andrew ---

Hi Andy, it all depends on your country of departure and your destination in Portugal. Portugal is a big country. They have 3 different regions with each having their own Covid rules for entry. Best course of action is to check the official sources for this information, they are usually pretty clear. I use this source for myself: > **[Entry requirements - Portugal travel advice](https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/portugal/entry-requirements)** > > FCDO travel advice for Portugal. Includes safety and security, insurance, entry requirements and legal differences. ---

always check [iata.org](http://iata.org). thats what the airlines follow to decide if you’ll be allowed to fly from/to a certain location. ---
