COVID-19: Digital Passenger Locator Card available in October

01.10.2020

From 2 October the Passenger Locator Card (PLC) becomes digital. In a first phase, the electronic card will work simultaneously with the paper card. From 9 October, the PLC will be exclusively digital.

The PLC came into force when the activity at national airports was restarted. The main objective is to collect data on passengers arriving in Portugal so that the authorities have up-to-date information on their location, should there be any case of COVID-19 on board flights arriving in the national territory.

The card is made available by the airlines during the flight and all passengers have to hand it in upon arrival.
