?? Portugal - How To Get An EU Digital COVID-19 Certificate (Passport). ??

[nortada]

Certificado Digital COVID | SNS24

Primarily for those in Portugal but I suspect it will be a similar procedure across the EU.

When applying remember to tap on the tap on ‘The vaccination certificate box’ and as you will be sent a verification code, you will need your Portuguese (SNS) Health Service registered phone available.

Boris Johnson is set to lift almost all Covid rules on July 19

I understand that the UK government is having second thoughts on a NHS Covid Passport

As an aside, I see that the EU may not recognise AstraZeneca jabs not manufactured in Europe. Up to 5million British holidaymakers could be BARRED from Europe

This will do a lot boost to the EU tourist industry.

Now to work out how to get the details on my EU digital certificate added to my NHS digitised medical records

Edited to add further detail and remove typos.?

This will be good......you'll have to keep me informed as we have been trying to get the NHS to recognise our spanish administered 1st vaccine for 5 weeks or more now.....in the end we have decided to just start the process again and get two administed locally here in the UK. Gives us time to get jabbed up before a return to Spain in October for the winter!
Incidently the guardian and gatekeeper of your NHS records is your GP and it all depends on the attitude of the Practice manager. If she / he is sympathetic then you've cracked it but if not then we could find no recourse short of possibly taking legal action. In the end just starting the process again is the simple route !

Are you not 'removed' from your G.P. when you take up residence elsewhere?

Not if you still retain a UK address

Four jabs instead of two, is that safe?

Looks as if you will be able to get a further booster jab (including a flu jab) in the UK in September, before returning to Spain.

Oh, it's another one of those 'I want the best of both worlds,' is it?
Surely it's not legal?

Well yes it's all perfectly legal. You can in English law be fully resident in more than 1 country.

Only had 1 in Spain, as it was offered we thought it prudent to take it working on the then established idea that the sooner you have one or both in you the better.......wished we'd have waited now though! But hayho as 3 will soon be the norm then maybe we'll just be ahead of the curve! For me things effectively went back to normal 3 weeks after having the 1st jab as risk of significant impact was greatly reduced and as one who has travelled widely then such risk (from various aliments and conditions found around the world and linked to possible lack of medical resource) is always a given and by implication accepted. Otherwise stay at home.

All I can find is that is for tax purposes...not for driving license, NHS or state pension.

 

[ean_p]

You can be commonly liable for tax in multiple countries at the same time, though this is often mitigated by joint treaty. As for residence, I'm currently permitted residence in three countries (was four at one point) all of which have different standards. For the UK the term 'settled purpose' may or may not be of interest!

Back to thread.

All done.

For completeness :- SNS24 | Centro de Contacto do Serviço Nacional de Saúde, the accompanying notes, which explain all and although applicable to Portugal, I assume they are the same across the EU.

Now to see if we can get this information onto our NHS records.

Change One.

When you get your certificate it is password protected. Your password is your Utente number.

There is no expiry date on my EU Digital Covid Certificate but also available, a Recovery Certificate is only valid for 180 days after recovering from Covid.
