To visit the Azores, you must take a PCR SARS-CoV-2 test in the 72 hours prior to leaving the airport of origin, and have a NEGATIVE result. The test must make explicit reference to the identity of the person tested, the laboratory, the date of the test and the signature of the person responsible for performing the test. It must be shown prior to boarding, in digital or paper format, without which boarding will be refused.
