Hello!

I can not find place that labels the test is RT-PCR.

It is "RT-SARS-COV-2 PCR"

Will be accepted?

Thank you!
Answer summary
The original question asked whether an RT-SARS-COV-2 PCR test would be accepted for entry into Thailand. Several comments confirmed that the test is acceptable as long as it includes 'RT' and 'PCR' on the documentation. However, there were concerns about the test's validity if it was conducted more than 72 hours before departure, stressing the importance of adhering to this time frame for travel.

Honestly - I wouldn't put this stress on Yourself - You could have been to a lot of places since the End of May - 72 hours is what the required - I had to do Yesterday and will be catching my Plane on Hour 48 of the 72 hours expiring Time...... But all the Best - They are extremely rigorous around times..... My friend was knocked back for 1 hour past the 72 hours so 5 and a Half months might be Pushing it a little........... 🥺

I see it is dated some 6 months ago - if that is the case is now obsolete. Needs to be within 72 hours of the flight leaving!

As long as you see RT and PCR on the page it’s perfectly fine

RT-PCR is a test method that's used for diagnosing all sorts of pathogens, including the virus that causes COVID-19.

SARS-COV-2 is the virus that causes COVID-19.

So that is saying the test method used and the virus it's testing for. I cant see any reason why that wouldn't be accepted.
