Hi! I am from the US. My family and I are driving from Spain into Portugal this summer. We will be entering either at the Miranda do Douro point or Quintanilha. Since we are from the US, the EU/Schengen formless entry doesn't seem to apply to us. According to what I found online we have to submit a Declaration of Entry Form to SEF within 3 days of entering Portugal.
However, I cannot find the form. Even on the SEF website, there is a PDF that says we must submit this, but no form.
It also says many hotels can help with this. We will be staying at the Vila Gale Douro Vineyards, so I emailed them. They said they have not heard of this.
Any help? Does anyone know where the form is? The SEF website says we can get fined up to 160 Euros if we don't submit this. There are 5 of us, so if it's per person, that's a lot!
THANK YOU!
Mary
