To enter Portugal and at check-in to the hotel, you will need to present two important things:
1. Passport Required: For attendees from the US, a valid passport that does not expire for at least 3 months from the day you arrive in Portugal, no Tourist Visa is required. For those traveling from the rest of the world (outside of EU), a passport is required and we recommend looking up any Visa requirements for your specific passport.
Please note that you are responsible to understand the travel requirements to travel to and from your home country. *This is NOT the responsibility of Executive Group Travel.*
2. Credit Card: The hotel will ask you to provide a credit card for incidentals (additional charges such as spa, drinks at the bars on property, etc.). Please be aware they will put a hold on that credit card at check-in, then release the hold 24 hours after check-out. We recommend providing a credit card over a debit card, as the debit card will actually debit funds for the hold, then redeposit them after your stay.
If you are interested in extending your trip this is first come first serve for room availability at the discounted room block rate. Our contracted group rate is available 2 nights prior to and 2 nights after the event dates. Please contact EGT for pricing details.

For those traveling from outside the EU you will need to use an adapter to plug in any electronics. The wall plugs in Europe are different than the US and UK. We recommend a Type C travel adapters which has two round pins.
The electricity supply in Europe is 220v, which means that appliances using North American voltage (110v) will need a transformer. Many devices like cell phones, laptops, tablets and camera chargers have built in converters and will automatically accommodate the change in voltage (110-240V).
For those looking to plug in a hair straightener or electric shaver we recommend buying an adapters that also converts 110-to-220V.
