Here's the full list :-

Whether you need a license or not in Portugal I can't find but a quick phone call to the Consulate wouldn't go amiss.
The list provided is interestingbut I may have to add more detail regarding Norway. I was there maybe 6 years ago and spent a while in a gun shop in Lillesand admiring their (expensive) range of air rifles. I remember asking about the need for a license, if any, and was told the following:
For .177 there is no requirement irrespective of power level but all air rifles classed as .22 need a license irrespective of power level. However, there is a quirk to this is that they classified 5.56 as .22 so if you had a rifle officially labelled as 5.5 then it falls outside the requirements for a license. Now it is, of course, possible that the chap in the shop got it wrong, but his English was excellent and he seemed as surprised as I was. So I cannot guarantee this information but it might be wise to check.
Cheers, Phil
There's a similar quirk in South African Law as well, Phil.
From memory 5.5mm is OK but .22" is prohibited.

I know that .25 is prohibited after trying to buy pellets.
There was a very good link on a previous thread but I can't find it, lots of general firearms stuff on google & Wikipedia.
I'm sure the Embassy could give you full details.

China I've been told is heavily resricted. I can't remember exactly but I was told there is a limit on the guns certificates held, so it's like dead man's shoes, you can't get one until one becomes free. It came up at IWA as I was commenting how it would be interesting to see how China take up FT.
Come on Rhys spill the beans mate, why do you need to know ?
LOOKING FOR A BSA ULTRA IN .177 and .25
Lol!! Yes I'm considering moving there... The container house is considered categorically a "non permanent structure" in Portugal, meaning all I need to do is throw it on a lorry, find a bit of cheap land with water and I'm sorted. there is pluck tonnes of sunshine there so electricity/hot water is never going to be short and I've heard of good international schools over there. After brexshit and what looks like bollocks food regulations being opened I sent no reason to stay, plus the coffee and food in Portugal is f'ing cheap and really good!. The bash is only a cheap flight away for a once yearly trip & I can leave a Springer here at me parents to go to that with no sweat!!
So yeah, course I'm thinking of moving there!!

Blimey, Rhys!
Can't argue with any of the above and I'd be so happy if it works out for you.
But I can't help feeling a little sad to think that we might only see you once a year.
