Faro airport has 20 additional SEF inspectors

Paul Rees 01 April 2019

SEF More SEF inspectors at Faro airport is part of allowing the service, "to strengthen the border entry points in line with the projected increase in the number of passengers this summer."

The Foreigners and Borders Service will increase numbers on April 1st until the end of September, at Lisbon, Porto, Faro, Funchal and Ponta Delgada airports.

According to SEF statement, there will be an increase of 22 inspectors at Lisbon airport; of 20 at Faro airport; of eight inspectors at Porto airport; of four inspectors in Ponta Delgada; and one more in Porto Santo.

In March this year, Portugal’s Borders Service accused the government of irresponsibility for not increasing the number of inspectors, arguing that the current cadre of 800 is insufficient for the Brexit contingency plan.

The government has announced that it will recruit 132 officials as part of the Brexit contingency plan as well as spending €4.25 million to buy new border control equipment and associated software.

YES Hamilton, your comments are below everything and your story is ridiculous ! I wonder why you came to Portugal and you enjoy the fantastic things in this country. In case you might have forgotten, here they are: the 3200 Sunny hours/year, the good food (specially fish), the super good and cheap wines, the sheap cost of living and the extremely low taks regimes (even till 0). Why are you here? Do you know by yourself ???

Quoting Hamilton:
Bravo Brexit ... we British need to be free of these less evolved EU countries.

.....................
Hamilton, you do realise that you are free to return to the less evolved UK when you wish too.
The question is as always.... why have you chose to live in the the more evolved part of the European Union...
First of all Portugal has a low tax steady economy, second Portugal has 325 days of sunshine per year and thirdly Portugal has an intelligent population that would not consider removing their country from the richest trading bloc in the world.
But the lunny left in Britain are only too happy to march their people out of the only good thing that has happened to Britain since the second world war.

Ooh - I nearly gave you a thumbs up there, until you mistakenly blamed the "lunny (sic) left for the impending disaster.

Don't you think e.g., the raving right of the tory party, the Trump/Bannon loving likes of Farage, Rees-Mugg who is currently defending his support of the AfD, and lying right-wingers like Dyson, Martin, etc., might be to blame? I forgot Boris ...

Try to be on the right side of history, please.

Bravo Brexit ... we British need to be free of these less evolved EU countries that have only ever 'pretended' over many decades that Euro Law has supremacy over their Old Laws. The EU is such an absurd joke to allow this! A recent Portuguese femicide example; one of the few sexism judgements that leak out (when will we ever hear of the failed racism judgements?) saw the gravely offended man freed on appeal having intentionally dragged a Portuguese woman to a nearby ravine that all knew was there, in front of witnesses including the deceased's sister, and thrown her in to her death. Her offence - refusing him a cigarette. The family and friends of the dead woman facing a life of pain and loss, her higher status killer free as a bird. A lesson for north European women travelling alone in Portugal, have a cigarette handy to pass over - to distract him whilst you get away.

While your comment has nothing to do with 20 additional SEF inspectors at Faro airport, let me tell you that the UK is in the top five most violent countries in Europe towards women. The top five countries are the so called more evolved northern European countries. When it comes to crimes against children the UK is probably in a category of it's own where pedophilia crimes in Westminster have been historically covered up. The current UK prime minister had a lot do with this covering up while she held the position of Home Secretary.
You should be happy that you live in a relatively safe country, but instead you continue to rubbish it in every comment you make.
