  2. Hi Toby
    Could you please clarify something about testing? Does the test in Madeira before coming to the UK have to be a PCR test or is a lateral flow one acceptable?
    Also the same question about the test before leaving the UK for Madeira?
    We are fully vaccinated but live in Wales so cannot access the NHS app which shows vaccination status, instead we have to request a letter which is only being issued for essential travel.
    I realise we can have one test either on entry or departure from Madeira. I have a pack if NHS lateral flow tests, the results show your name, date of birth, date of test and result but no bar codes from what I can tell. Do you know if these are acceptable for pre departure tests in both countries?
    Hope that both of your flights go ahead without further issue and that all goes well with your grandma’s funeral.

    1. Hi, as Karen said, leaving Madeira an Antigen test is fine, from a green list country, I have not checked Amber but I think its OK. You then have to have a PCR Test booked for day 2, Amber list you need two ocrs, day 2 and 8. Coming to Madeira you have to have a PCR Test, as you have had both vaccines you are able to get in with this, do you not have a card with the two vaccines you have had, I think this is fine to get into Madeira, maybe someone can clarify.

  3. My understanding is that the test in UK before leaving has to be a PCR.
    The test in Madeira before leaving can be a lateral flow but not one you do yourself, unless you order it online before leaving, take it with you and do it while on a video call with the supplier. I got one from qured but did not use it as I then saw there are loads of reviews on line saying they are slow to communicate. There are lots of places in Madeira you can get it done.

  5. Thank you. We have the little cards from the vaccination centre but have been told that they are not being accepted as proof of vaccination. Apparently they are doing a roaring trade on the black market?

  6. Hi Sue

    Im also from Wales and had the same problem travelling to Madeira on the 27th May.
    Good news is that the vaccination card was accepted as proof at FNC

    The Welsh NHS vaccination cerificate is available to all who request it, but if takes 10 working days to arrive
