If you plan on coming back, then taking an overstay would NOT be a wise move

@Andy ********

didnt used to be this way. Used to be that you used the QR code on the pink paper given to you and then you chose your own hospital with no need for hotel. Too many idiots didnt show for the second test so here we are with this mess

@Jodie *****

I think what

@Shaun ********

is saying is that asking at the IO will get (on average) a more reliable answer than FB

Test n go day 1 can stay anywhere within 5hr of port of entry by road. Then can travel anywhere but must report for day 5 test to a suitable hotel near where you will be at that time. Non negotiable - must stay in hotel for day 1 and day 5

@Felix ******

lets put it this way. You need to be tested to prove that you were previously infected. The doctor needs to be convinced that you are no longer infectious and 14 days seems to be the commonly accepted timeframe before one may be medically cleared. Herein lies the issue - where does that 14 day period begin. On the word of someone who took a "home test" without any way to back it up. That is why the PCR test at hospital or other facility is needed - doctor can confirm when the 14 day period started.

With difficulty one would imagine - how can you certify recovery from something that hasnt been medically diagnosed?

Don't forget the bucket of fried chicken

@Peter *********

bad advice. You most likely booked TP under old test n go arrangement. No hotel needed for day 5 then. New arrangements you need hotel for day 5 - too many idiots who didnt show up for their free day 5 test.

Yes. The TP requires booking confirmation, which won't be issued until someone pays for it. Proof of purchase for things such as insurance, hotel (and pcr) bookings, flight tickets all need to be provided when applying for TP.

Debra Jane agreed the extra luggage option would be cheaper. But for those who can afford, they might decide an extra seat is worth getting around having to close contact isolate.
