Important VTL update here: https://safetravel.ica.gov.sg/vtl/re...bQyfIDSYULAndo
I just saw that. It's pretty disappointing news.

Are eMed supervised, self-administered antigen tests ok for VTL?
I saw on one website that self-administered tests are not valid but I can't find that language again on the official government website.

Language used is "professionally administered". There certainly is some room for interpretation there.

I remember reading something about paying extra to turn the arrival PCR test into a departure fit to fly. Looking to depart for Phuket after a couple of nights in Singapore so this would save me a test, does anyone have the details?

Perhaps you could try emailing: [email protected] ? Or make an inquiry directly with Raffles Medical? They handle the arrival PCR tests at Changi.

The official report will usually indicate the collection time, lab received time and report issued time. Some airlines take report issued time while most airlines required sample collection time.
As long as the report satisfied the airline/country requirements, you are good to go.

THs requirements suggest the prior 21 days must have been spent in a country on their approved list. Not sure how that is managed if in multiple countries in that period.

If you were referencing Singapores requirements, Singapore makes an allowance to its testing requirements if one leaves before the full 7 days of testing are up: the VTL rules state a newly-arriving traveller is exempt from the daily ART tests per clause 5/6 (though not the initial PCR test + subsequent self-isolation): https://safetravel.ica.gov.sg/vtl/conditions

Ah, youre right, no 21 days for Sandbox. I hadnt seen that the OP wanted to travel to HKT. Plus, not planning on travelling to TH anytime soon, so havent spent too much time looking at it.
