Who goes through the "Nothing to Declare" corridor?

All passengers:
- Travelling with no baggage or transporting cash or monetary assets ​​in an amount under 10,000 euros (or an equivalent amount in a different currency).

- Carrying goods – personal items and/or purchases – not intended for commercial purposes, in the amounts permitted by law and whose circulation is not prohibited or restricted.


What are the rules for transporting and purchasing technology and electronic devices?

If you have bought electronic devices outside the European Union in quantities that exceed the legal limits, you must declare them at Customs when arriving in Portugal. Therefore, you must always keep the invoice or similar documents for your purchases.

On the other hand, if you are travelling abroad transporting your own high-value equipment – cameras, computers, tablets, etc. – we recommend that you declare them before boarding. This way, when you return, the customs services will already know that the equipment is yours and you won't have to pay taxes corresponding to their entry into the country.

If you are moving to settle in Portugal, and to avoid any customs issues. you should request the nearest Portuguese consulate a 'lista de bagagem' (commonly known as a luggage manisfest  - accompanying goods list) - they will charge a fee for this
