    Has anyone taken a home antigen covid test here? Is it accepted by the airline and immigration for entry?

    Actually, you can use a home antigen test result, provided that the result is certified by the kit provider. I did that.

    I think it's going to vary by country. The airline is just the enforcer for the country you are traveling to. The US was allowing a proctored antigen test for entry before they removed the requirement altogether. It had to be a certain test that included the proctored review as part of the cost.

    You are aware that no test is needed to enter the Philippines unless you're not vaccinated?

    At this time (time of this reply) Foreign nationals aged 18 and above, who have received the primary series of COVID-19 vaccination and at least 1 booster shot to enter Philippines OR negative PCR (time sensitive) option.
    - There is a Youtube Video of a Foreigner coming in from Singapore (about 5 weeks back) and his 2 shots were not enough. As he had no booster shot, he was denied entry and flew same day back to Singapore. He could of gotton in if he had a PCR Test (negative) before he came.
