I haven’t seen any sites that mention a test in Portugal, only prior to departure and after arrival back in the UK. I’ve only been told that a test in Porto may be required. Do you have a link by any chance?

It’s not required from Monday. From Monday you only need a test upon returning to the Uk on day 2. This is a screenshot from gov.uk So Portugal is a green list country. If Portugal is the only place you’ve been then UPON RETURNING to the Uk you need to get a test on the 2nd day. That’s how I understand it. You still need the paid for lab PCR test 72 hours before departure and also the day 2 test when you get back. 26A7F147-5AD1-449B-834F-697AEC1FB3FA.jpeg

My son (at college) and myself (for work) have a pile of boxes of lateral flow tests, given to us by college/work, for regular testing at home.

If we take a few of these to Portugal and use these before we return, would they be deemed acceptable, as, we only record the QR code via the NHS .gov website when home.

It's something I've not yet researched, but, if you do already know, it would be a great help. Cheers.

No. NHS tests are not allowed for travel at all

You DO need a test before returning from green list country to the UK

You are very wrong. That is just describing what you need to do when you get back. Additionally you need the PCR test within 72 hours of departure (this is the Portuguese government requirement)
Please see below extract from gov.uk and the link


Green list countries and territories - from 17 May​

From 17 May there will be a new green list of countries and territories. Until 17 May all countries and territories outside of the Common Travel Areaare either red list or amber list countries or territories. If you travel to England before 17 May you must follow the relevant amber list or red listrules.

This section tells you what you will have to do if you travel to England from a country or territory on the green list from 17 May. You must only have been in or travelled through a green list country or the Common Travel Area in the previous 10 days.

Before travel to England​

On arrival in England​

You must take a COVID-19 test on or before day 2 after you arrive.

Incorrect, as per posts above. It’s a minefield but you do need a test pre-departure from Portugal (which can be antigen / lateral flow).

However, if your flight back to the UK is on the Sunday and you did a PCR test before your flight to Portugal on the Thursday, that can be used.
 
Why are they asking the Portuguese test be in English French or Spanish? Will your local Portuguese testing site be able to do that? It’s like us giving out test results in Portuguese!
 
Whilst I’m at it, they’ve definitely sacked off this bubble idea haven’t they? What’s the betting after all this rigmarole they’ll confirm the bubble and match tickets sold only on booking official bubble trip. I can feel a shit storm brewing
 
I think some on here are underestimating the demand on tickets. We will have thousands over there missing out going off the amount who have booked

To try and make this clear, can anyone advise on the type of Covid test needed for the return flight Porto to Manchester?
we fly out Friday morning then back on Sunday early afternoon so not sure if getting a same day PCR test on the Thursday am in Manchester will still be valid for the return flight as it will be over 72 hours?

It's hard to know just how many have booked or intend to book. I think we will know more when the criteria is announced and just exactly what is required of fans to be able to enter the stadium.

I think it's just best to wait and see. In a little over 24 hours we will likely know how tickets will be allocated and with that I expect information to be provided about the testing requirements. I'm hanging fire until such time.

I can't help but think, however, that the emphasis will be on the official package and testing information only provided for people who intend to travel in such a fashion. Equally, I can envisage some sort of prioritisation with match tickets towards official packages. The Portuguese government may yet allow independent travellers to attend the game but it will be discouraged and disincentivised.

This.

The club package will be the only sensible option imo.

Spot on. On the cup scheme, 15000 PTS and still concerned about qualifying while some on here saying all those on the scheme will get one. I don't see how as virtually every blue I know is wanting to go.
