    Can anyone tell me how would this can be worked "Recovered from COVID-19 in the past 9 months"
    I never had a test to prove I had covid but I reckon I had it. Early Jan.

    You thought you had Covid but didn't get tested? You should be able to figure this out as you're clearly a genius.

    Guys would I need a PCR test to get back to Ireland or would an antigen test suffice?

    PCR is €70
    Antigen is €30

    Can I ask where you get those? Appreciate I’m not answering your Q but I suspect someone who can would need to know when you are arriving and from where and if you are vaccinated...

    Wasn't there a time in Jan and Feb this year where the testing system crashed, i.e. they couldn't cope with the amount of testing being sought, and people were told to just isolate and assume that they had it if they had symptoms?

    Even in Bargain Alerts there's someone looking to spread disinformation and fear and keep us locked into Ireland.

    Also, the way that Dogre's post appears when quoted by Jeremy Beagle above makes it look like his unfounded personal opinion is a quote from citizens advice. It's not. People are free to travel from July 19th if they meet 1 of the 3 conditions.... Vaccinated, negative test or recovered from Covid-19 (within 9 months).

    Thanks OP for the bargain alert!

    Take it you didn't read the OP?

    And as for the old "keep us locked up "sthick"

    I'll take it you haven't read the news in the last year and a half? - there's a global pandemic

    And international travel remains potentially subject to disruption and curtailment. No harm people are aware of that.

    For example- See those on holiday in Portugal atm who have had their holidays impacted by the changes in UK restrictions.

    You need a PCR test. Ireland is not currently recognising antigen tests for entry.

    I saw it on a Tripadvisor thread. Couldn't seem to see which one I need though as it's all UK citizen's talking about their requirements.

    They stopped testing asymptomatic close contacts, not people with symptoms.

    I'm sure anyone who has read the news in the last year and a half is aware of the pandemic (global), so no need for a post on every bargain alert for flights to make people aware.

    Then I reckon you're on your own.
    At the time they weren't doing testing for close contacts of confirmed cases as they were over run, I had all symptoms but was told to isolate with my family, my wife was the confirmed case.

    That's was not the case with us, we we told not to present for testing even though my wife confirmed as they hadn't capacity, and we were to isolate anyways. And we had the same symptoms.

    Why must i have to get vaccines? :confused:
    Am i not right in thinking that if i have recovered from CV that i just need to show this? i.e an antibody test......Which brings me back to what i originally asked. Where do i get an antibody test that is recognized for travel? And what form does this result take. Is it like a letter, or is it linked to my passport, or an app on the phone.
    If anyone has definitive answers, that will be much appreciated.

    None... nobody at an airport will take antibody tests... you need a negative PCR,

    You need a positive PCR test result to prove you had Covid. If you weren't tested at the time, you're quite simply out of luck. Antibody tests ain't worth shít.

    I'm having trouble following this. I have had two doses of moderna so am fully vaccinated. Wife has had one dose and due another in 2 weeks.
    Does this allow us to travel or do we need tests done?

    The 2 vaccination thing is a red herring
    Just because you have had 2 shots doesn't mean you're immune,

    Outbound-> Yes (meaning you’re all good to travel to Spain with your vaccine cert)
    Inbound -> PCR (still) required

    Quarantine? Haven’t a clue

    All subject to change. Follow DFA advice as everything is still very much volatile and could change in a moments notice

    From July 19th that is.

    As of right now, non-essential international travel is still prohibited.

    What is the time constraint for PCR test before flight? Is it strictly 24 hours before flight or is more time allowed if anybody knows please?

    EDIT: It's 72 hours prior to arrival in Ireland.
