...to do, to travel to Portugal? The twins are 4 months old and already registered. We are planning to go to Portugal this July but don't no what to require, a visa or a passport?
Well.i'm portuguese and so does my partner but babies will grow up, study and live in the UK why should i take them back to Portugal. Maybe just to meet English people that go there on holidays!
We are working and living on this country for 5 years. And we are citizens of a EU member state.

to be safe in traveling? always have passport on hand for the whole family,if you only travel by land? some picture id will suffice,
you do not need a visa, you are saying that you are Portuguese?
no visa to go to your own country.

You are citizens of an EU member state, your children though you are citizens of an EU member state, all you need to do is apply for passports for them.

Edit: Portugal is in the European Union, you are citizens of a country which is an EU member state

I wasn't trying to be unpleasant I was just making the point, badly, that as you are Portuguese you can travel settle where you like in the EU all you need is your passport, you don't require a visa and your children don't require visas, just their passports

People can say what they like to about living in the UK, you have a legal right to be here under current legislation, just as they have a legal right to up sticks move to Portugal so just ignore them
