More stuff about Portuguese Residency

[Heckler]

Interesting, with our temporary residence papers, we can now import a car without the horrendous tax, also health service is available to us.

A very comprehensive article but see it is dated 13 Apr 2017, are there any updates?

Might be other advantages, heard a few long term boatyard residents got fined the other day for not registering. (in a place beginning with O)

Would a day trip to Ayamonte reset the 90 days?

Most of those rules seem to be per calendar year, of course may change especially if no deal.

Not quite so simple though for the car. We went to customs with a yard dweller a couple of weeks ago. You have to show that you have genuinely immigrated by showing documentation that you have cancelled registration in last country of residence and produce utility bill to show you were resident there.

Yes they certainly like using utility bills to establish that you live somewhere. We have a certificate from our local Junta which tells all we are resident here, took a bit of getting because you need to be vouched for by two local voters, the owner of a bar we frequent obliged as did our land lady.

Slightly vague bar story (Olhao so of course )

Fines were for staying for years without registering like you're supposed to after 3 months. No mention of getting kicked out, just coughing up.

I'll ask around for more details.

Another rumour doing the rounds is that the police are fining people for not changing driving licenses. I'll believe it when I actually meet someone it has happened to.

The guy trying to import his car without duty already has his 5 year residence, seems crazy that he has to prove where he lived previously and that he has cancelled residence there.

Maybe the fines relate to the Culatra Pool dwellers who were forcibly removed by PM after refusing to leave. One German guy was jailed overnight and fined for letting off a flare and others (at least one in Olhao boatyard and one here on catamaran next to me in Bruce's) were fined around €1,500.

Another very vague report was of officials in the boatyard banging on hulls wanting to see 'documents'.

Anyone know anything more concrete about resetting the 3 months then register clock? Google not coming up with anything.

It resets the boat BUT the exisiting Schengen rules say 90 days max CUMULATIVE in 180 days, so Ive been told.

Has schengen anything to do with it though? No mention regarding schengen on various sites, just that you must register after 3 months, and at present it seems to apply to everyone, UK & Ireland aren't in schengen.

Maybe there is no exact answer..

Rumour has it one guy in the boatyard got stung for E250 fine - any idea what the fine was for?

 

[greeny]

Has anyone on here actually been fined or been present when a fine was levied on another individual in recent times?
Lots of rumours but very few facts.

Something almost certainly did go down in Olhao in the past week or so, just no one here knows what yet

Do you have to register the boat in Portugal if you are resident?? That would be weird...
