Lisbon Municipal Police confiscated a caravan housing a family of six after repeated illegality notifications. The city council offered emergency housing via Santa Casa da Misericórdia, but the family rejected the support. The family applied for the Supported Rental Program but didn't receive municipal housing due to insufficient points in the need-based scoring system.

Overnight rules for campers and motorhomes tightened in Portugal

Portugal has tightened regulations for overnight stays in motorhomes and camper vans. Since 2021, a law prohibits sleeping in a vehicle between 9 PM and 7 AM outside designated areas, with fines up to 600 euros. Following criticism, an exception was added: in most areas except nature reserves, overnight stays are now permitted for up to 48 consecutive hours, but this mainly applies to motorhomes rather than camper vans.
