Does anyone know if the Binex or Ellume tests are accepted for entrance into Portugal? Also when they say you must take it within 72 hours or 48 hours , do they mean from the time you depart the US or from the time you get a direct flight to Portugal, or from the time you arrive in Portugal?

In our area, there weren't many inexpensive options for testing. What worked for us was the Abbott ID-Now which is offered at some Walgreens and qualifies (NAAT - NEAR). The turnaround time is less then 24 hours. We didn't have to pay for it.
Our flight was from US to Canada to Portugal. The 72 hours was from Canada to Portugal.
