that specifically states the medical certificate (in english) affirming a negative result of Corona (Covid-19) (cuts off here) PCR Tested within 72 hours. ie. the medical certificate needs to be issued within the 72 hours of the flight. not the test!!!! this has been discussed over and over again on multiple threads in different groups.

The Test RESULTS must be issued within 72 hours of the flight, along with the F2F Certificate.

The test does not need to be taken within 72 hours. some places can't issue tests and results within 72 hours!!!

@Hans ******

some labs are so backed up that it is taking a long time to get the results. Thailand is only concerned as to when the results are reported. so yes while it is a cause for concern that a swab could be taken a week before the flight, if the results are issued within the 72 hours of the 1st flight on the COE, thailand will accept them.

@Hans ******

thats good news. but you posted an image (your results) without stating when your flight was. so it means nothing to the OP for time frames required

@Ha**

exactly. which is why the 72 hour time frame starts from the departure of your first flight listed on your COE, if it is older it is no good. Not sure you read my comment correctly.

@Ha**

the image you posted means absolutely nothing with no context about the flight time.

@Ha**

the 72 hour period starts from the first flight listed on your COE! The results and F2F must be issued within the 72 hours prior to this flight. The covid test can be taken anytime as long as the results are within that 72 hour period.

@Hans ******

it has nothing to do when the swab is taken. it has everything to do when the results are given (provided the results have a date (and time))

@Benj****

I am changing to an Ed visa but don’t have enough time on my current visa. So I have to do the extension first.
