Corrections and review status | Ultimate Portugal

What our dates mean

“Updated” is the date an article changed. “Facts last verified” records its last editorial fact check. A correction to one claim does not reset that date for the whole page.

Maintained guides about visas, tax, health, money and official procedures are due for review after 30 days. Other maintained pages are due after 180 days. A specific review date takes priority. News describes events at the time of publication.

A review date is a reminder, not a guarantee or a legal expiry date. Known issues take priority over recent check dates. The linked official record takes priority over our summary.

Statuses are calculated when the site is built. The public catalog includes due dates so readers and agents can check them against today's date.

Recorded corrections

This record starts in September 2026. It covers the changes listed below, not every historical edit.

2026-10-05: Corrected rail stations and journey times, ticket and seat guidance, Andante card scope, and the A22 toll exemption. Added route-specific booking checklists. This is a partial correction; the whole-page verification date is unchanged.

2026-10-05: Corrected the Campanhã–São Bento connection to a CP urban train, clarified Douro departure stations and onward travel, and replaced unsupported airport transfer times and fixed taxi fares with journey-specific checks.

2026-09-05: Updated to reflect that President António José Seguro promulgated the asylum-and-return diploma on 31 August 2026.

Scope: selected claims. The rest of the article was not checked again.

2026-09-05: Corrected the smartphone-ban timeline: Decreto-Lei n.º 176/2026 was published on 3 September 2026 and took legal effect on 4 September 2026, not 1 January 2027 — that date is the deadline for schools to adapt their internal regulations. Also corrected the list of exceptions to the ban.
