I’m just looking at COVID tests and fit to flyby certificate.  I can get this done in leeds but it takes 2days to get the results.  Then I need to send these to the Thai embassy in london and get the nod from the embassy before I can board the plane.    How can this be done in 72 hours if it takes 48 to get the results ?   Thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is concerned about obtaining a COVID test and fit to fly certificate within 72 hours required for travel to Thailand, as the testing facility in Leeds takes 48 hours to return results. Responses suggest looking for facilities that offer expedited testing (overnight results), clarifying that the fit to fly certificate can often be provided much quicker, and noting that the certificate and test results are generally not required for the COE application, which only needs visa, insurance, hotel, and flight details.

Fit to fly and PCR result is the documents you need in order to board a plane, not send to embassy for approval.

To get your COE you just need visa, insurance, hotel & flight.

Once COE is issued you can plan your covid test and fit2fly within 72hrs.

Look into covid tests for travel, they normally offer overnight results. Fit to fly can be done over the phone with an emailed certificate within a couple of hours.
