Miguel, or Lajes, on the island of Terceira, must fill out here the Questionnaire of the Risk and Early Detection, within 72 hours prior to departure. The questionnaire will present various possibilities and the passenger will have to opt between one of the following:

The first is you have already been tested for SARS-CoV-2 virus on the 72 hours preceding your flight to the Azores and the result was negative.
In this case you will have to show the physical document issued by a lab that proves that the test for SARS-CoV-2 has been performed within the 72 hours before your departure from the origin airport.
