Annex 1: How to transfer funds to UK nationals overseas via the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office

Please note that most prisons in Portugal will allow direct bank transfers. Please contact the British Consulate for details of the relevant prison鈥檚 bank details and to enquire about any specific bank transfer requirements.

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office operates a service which allows you to pay funds to us in the UK which we will pay out in local currency to the above overseas. The various ways you can pay us are detailed below.

Under the Consular Fees Order of 2016/2017, we are obliged to charge for this service. The fee is dependent on the amount that you wish to transfer as follows:

Amount being sent	Fee
One monthly payment up to 拢100	Free
Each additional payment or amount of 拢 0.01 - 拢 99.99	拢10
Each additional payment or amount of 拢 100 - 拢 499.99	拢25
Each additional payment or amount of 拢 500 and above	拢50

When forwarding funds, you should add the above fee to the amount that you wish to transfer. For example, if you want the recipient to receive 拢150, you will need to send us 拢175 (拢150 to forward plus 拢25 fee). If other friends and family also plan to transfer funds in the same month, you should consider coordinating payments so you know what FCDO fees to expect. We retain the right to further deduct any local overseas charges we may incur in passing the fees to the recipient.

Should we be unable to pay the funds locally to the recipient, our policy is to refund amounts above 拢5 to the depositor by bank transfer. In this case, we would contact you for your bank details. Refunds may take several weeks as our internal processes can only start once all relevant costs have been cleared with local authorities.

I hope this clarifies our service for you, but should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Please note that our office in Milton Keynes is only responsible for payments. All correspondence concerning your relative/friend in prison should continue to be addressed to the British Consulate:

Options to transfer funds to UK nationals overseas via the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office

Please note that we can only advance funds to the person overseas once your payment has cleared in our account.

Electronic bank transfers

Payment by electronic/internet bank transfer can be made either using online or telephone banking, or at your local bank or building society.

For all bank transfers, you will need to include the following details:

By post

Payments by Postal Order, Bankers Draft, Building Society Cheque or personal cheque should be crossed and made payable to 鈥淭he Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office鈥�. They should be sent to:

We recommend that you use Special Delivery.

Please ensure that you include a note briefly explaining who the money is for, why you are sending these funds and quoting the FCDO case reference number. You may wish to use the payment slip below.

If you would like a receipt, please include a stamped addressed envelope.

Please note that it can take approximately 15 days for personal cheques to clear and for payment to be received. Please write the cheque guarantee number and expiry date, and the FCDO case reference number, on the back of the cheque.

We are unable to receive payment by credit or debit card, or by cash.

Annex 2: Application for prison transfer under the Council of Europe Convention on the Transfer of Sentenced Persons

Step-by-step guide to procedures in Portugal

1. You can make an application for prison transfer to the United Kingdom as soon as your sentence becomes final and absolute and there are no outstanding appeals or court processes. The application can be submitted via the prison authority to the Attorney General鈥檚 Office. Consular staff can send you a standard form of words in Portuguese, which you can hand to your prison social worker.

2. On receipt of your application, the Attorney General鈥檚 Office will contact the sentencing court to obtain a copy of your court file and confirmation of sentence. This is then translated into English, together with the relevant section of Portuguese law, and sent to the UK Prison Service.

3. If the UK Prison Service agree you qualify for prison transfer, they will write to the Attorney-General鈥檚 Office to confirm that they will continue to enforce the sentence imposed in Portugal, that they will credit any remand/remission time authorised by the Portuguese authorities, and that the resulting 鈥榖alance to serve鈥� will be deemed to be the equivalent to a UK sentence. They will also send this information to you, together with a consent form, information on the UK prison system and a letter of undertaking to repay the cost of your airfare.

4. If you agree with the terms of the transfer, you should sign the consent form in the presence of a witness (ie, your prison social worker, a guard or other official) and the undertaking to repay, and return these forms to the UK Prison Service.

5. If you do not wish to proceed, you should return the forms under cover of a letter stating that you wish to withdraw your application.

6. In the meantime, provided the Attorney General鈥檚 Office agrees with the calculations sent to them by the UK Prison Service, the Minister for Justice will be asked to give her formal approval to the transfer. The application will then be passed to the High Court responsible for the area in which you are detained 鈥� Lisbon, Coimbra, 脡vora or Oporto. The High Court in Lisbon is responsible for the autonomous regions of Madeira and the Azores.

7. The High Court may schedule a hearing to ensure you are in agreement with the proposed terms of the transfer and wish to proceed.

8. Finally, Interpol are informed and release warrants are issued to enable arrangements to be made by the UK Prison Service for you to be escorted from Portugal to the UK by British prison officers.

Annex 3: Unofficial translation of legislation on conditional release

Portuguese criminal code

Section IV 鈥� conditional release

Article 61

1. Conditional release will only be applied with the consent of the prisoner.

2. The parole court may grant conditional release once half of the sentence has been served provided this is equivalent to no less than six months, if A) there is sufficient evidence to suggest that the prisoner, once released, will adopt a socially-responsible lifestyle and will not revert to crime. Such factors as the circumstances of the case, the prisoner鈥檚 previous lifestyle, his/her personality and any changes in his/her attitude during his/her term of imprisonment, are taken into consideration; and B) release is compatible with the maintenance of public order.

3. The court may grant conditional release once two thirds of the sentence has been served and provided that this is equivalent to no less than six months, if the requirements at a) above are fulfilled.

4. Notwithstanding the dispositions laid down in the above paragraphs, those sentenced to terms of imprisonment of more than 6 years, will be granted conditional release as soon as they have completed five sixths of their sentence.

5. Whether conditional release is granted at the halfway, two thirds or five sixth point of the sentence, its duration is only ever equal to the remaining term of imprisonment up to a maximum of 5 years, with any remaining time to serve considered extinct.
