A época geral de caça para 2024-2025 começou em agosto e decorre até fevereiro. No entanto, a caça ao veado, gamo e javali é permitida durante todo o ano, pois só é autorizada em áreas muito restritas. A caça só é permitida onde autorizada pela Câmara local e a área deve estar sinalizada.

This presentation outlined the warning signs of dementia and the difference between simple forgetfulness and cognitive degeneration, giving some helpful suggestions on how to genuinely improve mental wellbeing and also what to do when interacting with someone who has dementia.

A 37ª Assembleia Geral terá lugar no sábado 29 de março de 2025

Para quem tem frequentemente dificuldade em encontrar o carro em parques de estacionamento cheios de gente, a WAZE tem uma solução. A popular aplicação de navegação introduziu uma nova funcionalidade "Encontrar o meu carro" que torna mais fácil do que nunca localizar o seu veículo.

As novas fichas informativas da afpop fornecem conselhos práticos e acionáveis sobre as alterações à lei de residência no estrangeiro, a resolução de litígios comuns de estacionamento em condomínios e a rescisão limpa de qualquer contrato de telecomunicações em Portugal.

Como residente em Portugal, é provável que esteja familiarizado com a crescente cultura do ciclismo no país. Para garantir o transporte seguro e legal de bicicletas, é crucial cumprir os regulamentos específicos.

Uma das coisas com que as pessoas se preocupam é o que acontece aos seus animais de estimação se já não puderem cuidar deles. Embora o planeamento a longo prazo seja importante, o que acontece se, de repente, houver uma emergência imprevista e não puder contar às pessoas sobre o seu animal de estimação em casa?

Muitos deputados utilizam o Bluetooth nos seus dispositivos móveis, para se ligarem ao sistema mãos-livres do carro, por exemplo, ou para se ligarem ao sistema de música ou aos auscultadores. Geralmente, isto é perfeitamente correto e uma forma muito útil de utilizar a tecnologia, mas, como em todas as coisas, há coisas a ter em conta e uma delas é uma fraude de que talvez não tenha ouvido falar, com o nome bastante desagradável de Bluesnarfing.

De acordo com dados da Autoridade Nacional de Segurança Rodoviária (ANSR), no primeiro semestre de 2023 foram mandados parar/inspeccionados quase 70 milhões de veículos, tendo-se registado um aumento das infracções na ordem dos 20%. Não surpreenderá a maioria das pessoas saber que o excesso de velocidade foi a infração mais comum (67%), seguindo-se a falta de inspeção periódica obrigatória, o excesso de álcool, o uso do telemóvel e o transporte de crianças sem sistema de retenção adequado.

Recebemos frequentemente chamadas de sócios que nos pedem para os ajudar a compreender/ler a sua fatura de eletricidade. Nem sempre é fácil fazê-lo, pois há uma série de variações e as leituras nem sempre são fáceis de efetuar. No entanto, as coisas estão a mudar e algumas pessoas já têm um novo contador inteligente instalado pela empresa "e-Redes".

A utilização de drones (de acordo com a classificação da ICAO [Organização da Aviação Civil Internacional] Sistemas de Aeronaves Remotamente Pilotadas, RPAS) está a aumentar e muitos de nós já os encontrámos e possivelmente fomos assediados, por exemplo, na praia. Também é possível que queira comprar um RPAS e queira saber onde o pode pilotar e se pode fazer vídeos ou fotografias com ele. Sabemos que a legislação portuguesa em matéria de privacidade restringe a captura de fotografias de pessoas sem a sua autorização, mas em que medida é que isso se aplica também aos drones?

Uma sofisticada burla online em que as vítimas são enganadas para investirem num falso esquema de criptomoeda ao longo do tempo. Os burlões criam gradualmente confiança e manipulam as vítimas para que façam investimentos cada vez maiores, acabando por desaparecer com o dinheiro.

Até há pouco tempo, os contribuintes eram obrigados a guardar as facturas para efeitos fiscais por um período de 6 meses a 5 anos (pessoas singulares) e até 10 anos (empresas). De facto, um dos pontos-chave dos nossos seminários anteriores sobre o IRS era pedir sempre uma fatura e guardá-la num local seguro até ao final do ano. Quando se pergunta se os contribuintes ainda precisam de guardar as facturas, o IRS (AT) responde que NÃO. De facto, hoje em dia, "a maior parte das facturas pode ser deitada fora depois de se verificar que estão corretas no e-fatura".

If you are a US citizen who requires a full-service FBI criminal background check and digital fingerprinting for your Portugal immigration process – then this is for you!

Por lei, a primeira AGA de condomínio do ano, na qual devem ser apresentadas as contas do ano anterior e o orçamento para o ano em curso, entre outros assuntos necessários à gestão do condomínio, deve ter lugar na primeira quinzena de janeiro. No entanto, pode ser efectuada até ao final do primeiro trimestre, se o regulamento do condomínio o permitir, ou se tal tiver sido decidido por deliberação da assembleia de condóminos e aprovado pela maioria.
