Does anyone know if Thailand requires an original RT-PCR test with embossed seal?  The lab I'm going to sends the results to a portal which I can print.  I'm trying to find out if this will be sufficient.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The current consensus among users is that for entry into Thailand, a printed version of an RT-PCR test result, even if obtained via email from a lab, is acceptable. An embossed seal is not necessary, as several individuals have reported successful acceptance of printed documents, including color copies. Therefore, having a printed result from the laboratory's portal should suffice.
