Covid RT-PCR test to enter Thailand

[mockingbird]

Hi.

 

I'm flying tomorrow from Madrid.

I just got my covid test results from a clinic here in Spain.

It clearly says negative and indetectable, and say real time RT-PCR.

 

However the rest is in Spanish.

I'm worried that this won't be acceptable.

 

Has anybody flown with something similar?

I've attached the cert with my passport no and dob blanked out.

The airline in Madrid, I am sure will be able to read Spanish.

No problem at Immigration, they know the airline wouldn't allow you to board without a valid negative Covid PCR test.

The airline should not allow you to board.  The IATA requirements (which the airlines) use require the certificate to be in English for entry into Thailand.

Seems he and I both missed that last little sentence.

The certificate must be in English.

No it wasn't too late. I postponed my return for 2 weeks. Luckily no charge to do so from hotel and airline. 

Must be in English,  or at least the important parts must be. I believe a certified translation will work too.

As always with these things there's no consistency. Spoke with someone yesterday who got through with a cert in German,  and another guy who was refused.

 

Certainly not worth the risk.

Must be in English, you may be allowed to board but you run a serious risk of being denied entry. What about the Fit To Fly certificate? Is this in Spanish as well?

No, as I already posted, I'm not attempting to board. I've rescheduled everything for 2 weeks.

The fit to fly is in English. (An online consultation with Dr Donna Robinson, who's based in Bkk. Many people use her services)
