Mr. X you have to get a license to do spearfishing in Portugal. For mainland now it is easier to get this license for non-residents, I already read about some people who got the license by emailing (and paying for sure) to local entities.
But be aware, if you plan to go to Azores archipelago or Madeira archipelago it required a license for each region.
Hi,
What is the name of the institution issuing Spearfishing licences in Madeira, please? Do you know if one can be obtained online? Are there alternative option I.e. Buy a licence from tour operators or dive centres?
I will be in Madeira for along weekend and wonder if I'll be able to apply and get a licence on Friday late afternoon?!
Thanks
