The new Loja de Cidadão opened on 14 September and is located on the ground floor of Ria Shopping.

Residents can now access services from Social Security, the Tax Authority and the Institute of Registries and Notaries, including civil and property registry services. Municipal services from Olhão Council and an Espaço Cidadão are also available at the new location.

The Olhão facility is the 82nd Citizen Shop to open in Portugal.

The project represents an investment of €1.71 million under Portugal's Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR) and was designed to bring local and central government services together in a more accessible location.

Ria Shopping was chosen partly for its central location and accessibility, with connections to the EN125 and free parking available at the shopping centre.

The new Citizen Shop is open from Monday to Friday between 9 am and 4.30 pm.

It can be found at Ria Shopping, Avenida D. João VI, 100, in Olhão.
