Holidaymakers hoping to fly to Portugal next week are in limbo after the country extended its restrictions with 'no decision yet' on tourists.
The second-highest level of coronavirus alert is going to remain in place until May 30 despite the country being added to Scotland's green list.
There are fears UK tourists could be turned away on arrival after the country extended its 'state of calamity'.
On Monday, a raft of lockdown restrictions put in place to help stem the tide of coronavirus will be lifted in Scotland.
Holidaymakers will once again be allowed to fly out of the UK for non-essential travel, but will have to show tests or even quarantine in many destinations.
The Scottish Government adopted a 'green list' of 12 travel destinations - where passengers won't need to quarantine on returning home.
The traffic light system follows a UK four-nation approach, with Portugal placed on the green travel list.
Guidance published on the Portuguese Government's website on Thursday said that ministers had approved a move to continue the current level of lockdown.
According to the BBC, Portuguese cabinet office minister Mariana Vieira da Silva said she had "no information to give yet" on travellers from the UK would be allowed.
Senior travel industry sources were reported to have said that the sector had been left in a state of limbo and that the green list was proving to be “crackers”, The Times reports.
To enter Portugal, proof of a negative Covid-19 test taken with 72 hours of departure is required.
Those without proof of a negative test can be refused permission to board a flight, or may be forced to quarantine in government-approved accommodation upon arrival.
It comes after Scots could be turned away from Portugal despite it being added to the UK’s green list for travel after May 17.
While two negative COVID-19 tests are still required, the EU is recommending a total ban to member states, according to The Mirror.
