Has anyone used a rapid test (ATK) instead of a PCR from a hospital and fly into Vietnam successfully ? Will also like to know specific wordings I should look out for? Thank you. Cheers Patrick
Answer summary
Yes, you can use a rapid test (ATK) instead of a PCR test to fly into Vietnam as long as certain conditions are met. The rapid test must be conducted at a lab, hospital, or clinic, not as a self-test. It should also be taken within 24 hours before your departure, and you must have an official results document to present for your flight.

You can use a rapid test, but not a self-test, it has to be performed at a lab/hospital/clinic, with an official results document, and done within 24 hours of your departure. PCR can be done within 72 hours of departure.
