Test info - Scotland to Portugal

BigPhill7979

I am hoping somebody can help. I am travelling to Portugal from Glasgow airport (we live in England and my wife and I are double vaccinated) on the 17/8/21 returning 29/8/21. I am a little confused after researching what tests we need to have before and during our holiday and after our return for my 11 year old daughter. I have read the Scottish government guidance and it says under 12 years old do not need to test prior to entering Portugal or 2 days after returning to Scotland. Yet I have read that the 3 day prior to returning test is needed by all 11 and older, this is what confuses me as all other tests are 12 and above? Is this correct? I am grateful for any advice anybody can give on this.

Children and medical reasons

Children under 11 do not need to take a COVID-19 test before travelling.

Children aged between 11 and 18 must take a COVID-19 test before travelling. Proof of the child's negative test result must be shown by an adult travelling with the child upon arrival in Scotland.

If you’ve not been fully vaccinated by the NHS in the UK

If you’ve been vaccinated outside the UK, you’ll need to follow the amber list rules for those who are not fully vaccinated.

Children under 18

Children under the age of 18 returning to Scotland do not need to self-isolate.

If your child is aged over 12,  they’ll need to take a COVID-19 test within 2 days of arriving in Scotland – you must book and pay for this test using the CTM Booking Portal. Children under 12 do not need to take a test.

Yes, your daughter needs a test before returning to UK but does not need to do day 2 test.

Entry to Portugal is set by the Portuguese government  and is separate to Scottish requirements. Portugal does not require a test for a child under 12.
