Summary: What if I am an EU Citizen?

If you are a citizen of a European Union nation and you want to reside in Portugal long-term, you'll need to get residency and National Health Service User Card for foreign citizens.

If you are only staying temporarily, you can use your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC).
