The country is one of only 12 to feature on the government’s new ‘green list” as part of its reopening of international travel on Monday.
Portugal’s minister of state for foreign affairs said British tourists would be allowed to enter the country from 00.00 on 17 May, giving the go-ahead for holidays from the UK to resume to the key European destination.
All visitors to Portugal will have to take a PCR Covid test within 72 hours of departure.
The decision to allow UK visitors from Monday revokes Portugal’s essential travel restrictions which will end on Sunday (16 May).
