You can do this using the SEF’s Brexit portal. Once you have registered on the portal you can download your registration confirmation in the form of a digital document and you can use this to prove your status as a resident until you receive your biometric card. However, if you were a legal resident in Portugal before 1 January 2021, you should make sure that you exchange your EU resident document for a new biometric card that you can use to prove your rights. This means you can continue to live, work or study there without the need for a visa. This is because, under the Withdrawal Agreement, the rights of UK nationals in the country have been protected. UK nationals who were already registered as a resident in Portugal before the 1st January 2021 will be relatively unaffected by the UK’s departure from the EU. This has left many UK nationals feeling uncertain about their options for living abroad, but it is still possible to move to Portugal from the United Kingdom. The Brexit transition period officially ended on the 31st December 2020, alongside this also came the end of free movement between the UK and EU.
