72 Hour RT-PCR Test Rule for Thailand.... Is it from when the results are issued or when you take the test? Saw mostly online it's from when it's officially 'issued' as some places take longer than others but saw some conflicting answers saying the test within 72 hours.
Any experiences!? Flying on a Monday night from a place where PCR-RT tests aren't available after Friday afternoon. Thank you!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The 72-hour RT-PCR test rule for traveling to Thailand stipulates that the time is counted from when the test results are officially issued, not when the test is taken. Confusion around this rule has been noted among travelers, as some airlines have interpreted the regulation differently, requiring proof of result issuance. It is advisable to verify the specific airline's requirements and to obtain supporting documentation from relevant consulates to avoid travel issues.
