Not from my experience but from i read before. I believe visa is the cheapest option unfortunately. Mostly if the results keep coming positive. They should have a program or something for everyone getting in that situation by now
i read their documents but they don’t say about layover. I need the test if i travel there but not sure if layover is included. This is the reason of my question here
I only had a 2 months visa when i applied and i had my ticket back home bought for 6 months in thailand. Never been a problem and I have been here 5.5 months
