Vacation rentals in Portugal are managed by a processing third party that forces a paid guest to upload their passports before check in is possible. When we found this out, it was too late to be reimbursed.
Had we known this requirement prior to booking, we’d have opted to stay in a hotel ( which just takes the guest name/place of birth & number), since keeping a copy of my passport is intrusive to my privacy/security of my identity.
We will NOT be staying at a short term rental in Portugal again since all companies go through this outfit that has archaic requirements. Our short term vacation rentals in other countries (Italy, Switzerland & Germany) only required the passport information, not a picture of our passport. I’ll be reporting this practice/company to my embassy.
