 LEGAL REQUIREMENTS FOR TRAVEL ABROAD

When driving through France, don't forget to carry a yellow fluorescent jacket... All vehicles driving on French roads  are obliged to carry a yellow fluorescent jacket, that must be put on if the driver has to get out in an emergency. (In Spain, it's one per passenger). The jacket must be stored in the car, not in the boot, and be easily accessible. Failure to carry the obligatory jacket may lead to an instant fine of up to 130 Euros, if stopped by police.

Can i sleep in my car in switzerland?

It is generally not permitted to stay overnight in a car on a public parking lot. It is therefore recommended to find a campground or any other accommodation where you can spend the night. In some regions, sleeping for one night in the car is tolerated.

Can i sleep in my car in France

There is no law in the vehicle code stating that sleeping in your car is forbidden. As long as you follow the generals rules for parking and where you can and cannot park, you can sleep in your car. There are two different legal distinctions in France. You can park your camping-car anywhere legally in France where you are allowed to park a car (i.o.w. in official parking spots), but you are only allowed to camp in official designated spots.

Can i sleep in my car in Portugal

Yes, wild camping is once again allowed in Portugal, with exceptions. As per amendments to Portugal’s Highway Code articles 48 and 50-A approved in July 2021, “overnight stays in motorhomes approved by the IMT (Institute of Mobility and Transport) for a maximum period of 48 hours are allowed”. Wild camping is still banned on lands belonging to the Natura 2000 network, protected areas and areas covered by the Coastal Development Plans. Violations on these lands can result in a fine between 120 to 600 euros. Before you go camping in Portugal, it’s important to note that the approved amendments have been not been ratified into law just yet and await a formal process.

Can i sleep in my car in Spain

In general, it is not allowed to camp in a vehicle outside of designated areas. The Spanish government's position is that if you're not in a designated camping area, you're wild camping, regardless of whether you're sleeping in a tent or a vehicle.
