mockingbird Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Hi. I'm flying tomorrow from Madrid. I just got my covid test results from a clinic here in Spain. It clearly says negative and indetectable, and say real time RT-PCR. However the rest is in Spanish. I'm worried that this won't be acceptable. Has anybody flown with something similar? I've attached the cert with my passport no and dob blanked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanoshi Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 The airline in Madrid, I am sure will be able to read Spanish. No problem at Immigration, they know the airline wouldn't allow you to board without a valid negative Covid PCR test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treetops Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 The airline should not allow you to board. The IATA requirements (which the airlines) use require the certificate to be in English for entry into Thailand.

I postponed my return for 2 weeks. Luckily no charge to do so from hotel and airline. Must be in English, or at least the important parts must be. I believe a certified translation will work too. As always with these things there's no consistency. Spoke with someone yesterday who got through with a cert in German, and another guy who was refused. Certainly not worth the risk.

jimn Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Must be in English, you may be allowed to board but you run a serious risk of being denied entry. What about the Fit To Fly certificate? Is this in Spanish as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the Fit To Fly certificate? Is this in Spanish as well? No, as I already posted, I'm not attempting to board. I've rescheduled everything for 2 weeks. The fit to fly is in English.
