People who already live in Portugal.
Your country of residence is a key detail to check when reading an insurance offer. Use the health guides for everyday arrangements and the travel guides for trips away from Portugal.
For everyday healthcare
Review your public healthcare registration and the details of any private insurance separately. Keep updated policy documents and assistance contacts somewhere accessible. The health hub explains the questions to explore next.
For a trip away
Check that the travel policy accepts residents of Portugal. A product sold in your country of nationality may have different residence conditions. Our travel hub concerns residents leaving Portugal on trips, not tourists visiting Portugal.
When your situation changes
A new address, a longer journey or a move to another country can create new questions. Ask the relevant provider which changes need to be reported and keep its answer.
