Hi Jsar,

Thank you for your contribution to our site and this thread. I know the 20 post rule can be an inconvienence at this point in your expatforum.com experience, but I am positive you will agree that there would otherwise be a lot of people who would abuse the forum and use it for advertising purposes while not contributing to the site as a whole.

We look forward to your continued participation and supporting you in becoming a full fledged member.

All the best,

Michael

i also am trying to get info on taking a car into portugal as have just bought in the algarve but thier car prices are very high if u get any info i would really appreciate it as i was stopped by police in faro and warned that i must matriculate my 4x4 or take it back to the uk. i am not resident there yet and will not be for another 5 years and i think that makes the difference in cost but any help would be appreciated. Regards Ken Sheldrake

Welcome to the forum, Ken. You need to know what the rules are for taking a car back and forth if you aren't resident, too, I guess. It seems you could end up registering in Portugal, and then in the UK, and then in Portugal. I'm assuming you are driving back and forth. If you are leaving the car there, then of course you will have to register it, regardless of whether it is expensive or not.

Thanks for your reply . what i really need is a list of requirements in english to matriculate a vehicle which is to be kept in the algarve. i.e.costs appertianing to different models etc. i am staying 12 weeks a year at the moment and intend to settle full time in 5 years. if there is any body out there that can point me in the right direction to get this info i would be most grateful. Thanks again Ken Sheldrake
