Uploading Covid vaccine e-docs
Hi. I did post this question on the appropriate thread but didn't get any reply.
I'm flying to Portugal soon. Do I still have to upload my Covid vaccine passport via edocs before I can check-in online? If so, how far in advance can this be done? There's nothing else to upload these days so may as well get it done, if possible. Thanks.

I think it depends, BA still seems to want jab certificates and the declaration uploaded for Netherlands.
At a guess, looking at their rules I think you will still need to upload a jab certificate for Portugal. The link to do this should appear on your MMB a few days before the trip, just follow the instructions and upload the document. It should get approved within a few hours and then OLCI will be open as normal at 24 hours.

So I noticed today on MMB that I could upload my Covid vaccine status. I uploaded my nhs document, but the e-docs service asked me to upload a negative Covid test certificate, which you don't need for Portugal. I was forced to tick the box saying that I'm exempt otherwise you couldn't submit the page. The form then asked why you're exempt, so I just typed that it's not required for FAO. Documents were submitted and I received the standard tracking number email. I then get an email not long after saying that my documents have been verified, but then another email 10 mins later stating that my documents can't be verified and I have to checkin at the airport. How confusing. Any ideas what is going on? Thanks.

Sounds like they haven't got the requirements correctly in the system. I wouldn't worry, it just means you have to check in at the airport.

As requested we uploaded our NHS Covid passes tonight and ticked to confirm the details but the system wouldn't process either application. So it means we just take up the time of the check in clerk tomorrow.
