I've managed to get another test. Should be fine. I will post here what happens tomorrow...

Edit: Thanks for the help ????

The requirements on the Thai embassy page state explicitly that the certificate has to be 'issued', within 72 hours, but I have seen different locations saying different things. I'm trying to get another test just in case, if not we will have to try our luck.

Yeah this is my feeling as well. I have contacted many people and it seems to be the consensus. now I just have to wait approximately 48 hours to find out if it's true...

Thanks.

As title stated. I am travelling to Thailand on the 18th (I work there) after many months of work filling in paperwork and figuring out how to satisfy the varying whims of Thai immigration. I just recieved my covid test certificate and despite assurances it wouldn't happen, they sent the damn thing slightly too early (about 74 hours prior to my flight time). They didn't include the time on the certificate, but since my flight is at 21:25 in the evening the date on the certificate does seem to suggest it might have been issued outside of the 72 hour requirement.

Does anyone know if this might be an issue? Also, does anyone know if they confirm coronavirus test results by contacting the lab or using the test ID or something like that? If not then there are ways around the issue...

Finally, I guess it's worth checking that the important point is the date of issue of the certificate, not the date and time of the test. That's what it said on the UK Thai embassy website, so I have assumed it is correct, but I can't help but worry...

Thanks for your help.
