I am Syrian and I live (and study) in Lisbon, normally I fly between Porto and Lisbon and it is fine.

However, my residence card will expire this month, and I want to go to Porto from Lisbon on Ryanair after the expiration date.

Will they accept me to go into the plane with an expired residence card? ( i already applied for an extension but the extension will not happen before the flight). And I have an official appointment to extend the residence card.

My residence card is for students, the one that allows me to travel in Schengen area.

  • Does it have to be ryanair? They impose a whole bunch of additional restrictions that no other carrier does, significantly more than the law requires them, so they're problematic even in "normal" situations...

    Did you calculate how much time you really save, including time to get to and from the airport on both sides?

I called Ryanair and they said that this kind of light is a domestic flight which needs either a valid passport or a european national ID. I do have a valid passport so It is Okay.

    Indeed there is no way of looking at that flight where anyone could consider it anything other than a domestic flight.

  • @phoog maybe i didn't get you sorry, but don't you consider it a domestic flight ?

    I do. My point is that there is no need for the word (or the concept of) "considered." It is a domestic flight, by definition, because it is a flight entirely within a single country. By saying that Ryanair "considers" it to be a domestic flight, you imply potential controversy, as if you thought that someone else might not consider the flight to be domestic. I was challenging that implication.

  • @phoog oh yeah, you're right, thanks. Actually I knew from the beginning that there shouldn't be any problem with this kind of flight, but I'm not a European citizen, so I had to duple-check before.
