The problem is, with that guidelines, I won't find a lab that puts "rt-pcr" in Spain

I'm going to do the Fit to Fly certificate with Dr. Donna (as recommended by this group). Do you know if on this certificate it says "rt-pcr"?

It seems that it depends on the country where you take the test and first flight. On the Canarian/Spanish Ministry of Health website, they acknowledge that PCR means RT-PCR, and all authorized lab follow these guidelines. That's why I went to 3 different authorized labs and they all said it is just "PCR" written on the results. I'll print the guidelines and list of authorized labs just to be sure.

I'm planning to go to Phuket after finishing the quarantine too!

Thank you for the confirmation

So if a laboratory is offering PCR results in 24h, it means it's real time? I just checked and this lab is on the list of authorized labs of the Canarian/Spanish government.

That’s the thing, some people say it has to be RT, others that it wasn’t and were accepted

No, you need the Visa first! You even have to upload your visa in the COE application

I asked the Thai Embassy in Madrid about mine earlier today (uploaded the flight and ASQ 6 days ago), and they replied by email: "Normally, if your status shown as under consideration, you can not do anything more just wait. COE will be autorized before flight departure 2 days or some case a day before. Please be patient."
