ORIGINAL POSTER

I just had my Thai visa approved by the Thai Consulate in NYC after just one day! I'm thinking ahead to the RT PCR COVID test that I will need 72 hours before departure. My options I think are Quest Diagnostics, Walgreens or CVS. I live an hour north of New York City. Can anyone give me a recommendation as to what worked well for them with respect to the required pre departure COVID test?

The user recently had their Thai visa approved at the Thai Consulate in NYC and is seeking recommendations for RT PCR COVID tests needed before their departure. They are considering Quest Diagnostics, Walgreens, or CVS for testing and are asking the community for suggestions on which would be the best option.

CVS worked for me. Results in 1-2 days.

You will need to confirm it is RT. I believe in the Cert it will be, but mine didn't mention RT but when I asked it was the right test with RT PCR. Call and make appt. Ask at that time
