Entry into Philippines: How to Calculate Nucleic Acid Test within 48 Hours?

Recently, a small partner disclosed that because the nucleic acid test report exceeded the 48 hours stipulated by the Philippine government, he was refused to go through the check-in formalities and had to buy the air ticket again!

There were also lucky friends who checked in at home smoothly, but after landing in the Philippines, they were pulled to quarantine due to the report lasting more than 48 hours!

So how will this be calculated within 48 hours? Let's look at the process together:

Sampling → Experiment → Report → Check-in → Take-off → Landing → Verification of Vaccine Certificate and Nucleic Acid Report at BOQ Counter → Passing Philippine Immigration Bureau → Luggage → Exit from Airport

Sampling and BOQ counter are two important time points in this process. Starting from the sampling time, when you pass through BOQ counter after the plane lands, you must ensure that it is within 48 hours, otherwise you may be pulled out of isolation.

If there are episodes such as flight delay and complicated epidemic prevention process on and off the plane, it may cause the nucleic acid test report to exceed 48 hours when you report to BOQ counter. Therefore, it is suggested that you can approach the flight more for testing, and then approach the flight more for testing. Don't get stuck or stuck for 48 hours to avoid unnecessary trouble.
