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.

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.

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​

• take a COVID-19 test
• book and pay for a day 2 COVID-19 test – to be taken after arrival in England
• complete a passenger locator form

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

You do not need to quarantine unless the test result is positive.

You must follow these rules even if you have been vaccinated.

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.

The good thing is there will be thousands jetting off from UK over next few days so all should become clear on tests etc

 

[JOGAMIGMOG]

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!

 

[JOGAMIGMOG]

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

Sorry, I wasn't very clear. We've got the 2 PCR UK based tests booked.

My question relates to the test in Portugal.
