Covid Test Switzerland 3 days before return 130chf £102 Is Lateral Flow acceptable for return to UK?

Has anyone used a Lateral Flow Rapid test kit in an Amber country like Switzerland for the Day 3 Test before flying back to U.K.? 

If so did they buy them in the destination country or buy one suitable in U.K. & take it with you. Any recommendations please.

The PCR tests done in Switzerland are 130chf or £102, does anyone know of a cheaper alternative please?

The before return to the UK test can be a lateral flow rapid test but you must get a certificate of the result and so it cannot be just a home kit. The certificate has to be in english, french or spanish 

We just got a local test done for £12 but that was a cheaper country than Switzerland. There are UK providers that'll send you a home test but then do a video call or ask you to upload a photo of the result etc and then email you the certificate... not used one but people seem to be talking of circa £25-30 for these.

I've used a home test Lateral Flow test coming back from Greece, as did my family. £32 I think. You take it whilst doing a Zoom call. The whole thing was quick and painless and after waiting for a few minutes, they email you the certificate. 

MSE has a list of them. We used Breathe Assured. They arrived in a day and then you book an appointment slot. All very simple.

I ordered one from Chronomics to take it with me to Switzerland and do it before coming back to UK. It costed £28. It's do it at home test and according to website, you just upload result to the website and they issue certificate.

I don't want to waste time and money and look for tests abroad.
