As always your posts are very informative! I am curious if/how ETIAS will affect American citizens/Portuguese residents traveling from Portugal to the US and back to Portugal. Will a visa be necessary?
Hi Carol, thanks for a well done and informative post. The refund information was very interesting. Maybe the EU will catch up and institute some similar rules. We are members of the STEP program and have found the news alerts useful. And I was interested to see that ETIAS finally has a start date. I think that one is going to trip up a lot of travelers next year.
Thank you! It has been amazing thus far and we are not quite half way through. Met a friend in Scotland we had not seen in 17 years- was like we had seen her yesterday! See three more friends in Liverpool we have not seen in a decade and another in Cambridge in the coming days. Life is rich and we try to make the most of every minute! Best wishes!
Brilliant post! So informative and helpful! Kudos for always being in tune with reader needs! I greet you this fine morning from Belfast, Northern Ireland where the rain welcomes us!all the best to you both!

The EU has a similar cancelled flight program. I don’t think it is as detailed, but I know my husband has received compensation for canceled flights from European legs of his trips. More details can be found here: https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/travel/passenger-rights/air/faq/index_en.htm#:~:text=YES%20%2D%20you%20have%20rights%20under,routing%20at%20the%20earliest%20opportunity.
Multi Obrigada!
Hello Sandi,
Thanks for your comment and for the link about passenger rights in Europe - much appreciated.
Regarding Americans who are foreign residents in Portugal, a visa is not necessary. - CW
