So is a self test with video consultation a self test?
My understanding of the Portuguese entry requirements is that it needs to be a lab test, I had booked a home/video test but didn't want to risk it so booked an in person test instead. Tests were checked by airline, then there was a control check point at Lisbon airport before passport control where they checked everyone's test documents.

This is what Ryanair required:
UK NHS tests, Self-collection tests / Self-test Nasal Swabs or/and unsupervised tests are NOT ACCEPTABLE and boarding will be denied if presented with such tests.
