- you then go through passport control and the hand luggage xray, after which you are directed to the far left/right walls of the terminal where there's a bank of what was something like 10 cubicles
- you sit down, give them your specimen bag, they swab your nose and, voilą, it's done
- you carry on (dont forget to buy your duty free)

It did not add more than 3 minutes to my process, albeit no queue at the time.

In my case, test results came in 24 hours (Free and clear!) via text message.
As no Egate, does this mean that passports are being stamped (even if holder is registered for Egate)?

There's no request to buy or see health insurance?
