“Young people under the age of 18 need a letter of authorisation with them when leaving or entering Portugal, including Madeira, without their parent or legal guardian.

Outside of Europe, Brits have been urged to exercise “extreme caution” amid renewed conflict in one of the world’s most visited countries.
India, a land that draws nearly 19 million international tourists a year with its rich history, vibrant street food, and architectural wonders, has seen its Foreign Office travel advice updated following a spike in tensions with neighbouring Pakistan.
The latest unrest stems from a deadly attack on May 7, when gunmen opened fire on a group of domestic tourists in Pahalgam, a scenic spot in Indian-administered Kashmir.
In retaliation, India launched strikes targeting what it described as “terrorist infrastructure” inside Pakistan. Although both countries agreed to de-escalate on May 10, the situation remains volatile, the Mirror reported.
