If you are in Las Terrenas, your best bet is the international clinic, located in the town. They offer antigen test for like US$ 40.聽 The result is within minutes, but documenation is more like 2-4 hours.聽 So do it in thr AM and pick it up in the afternoon.聽

In SD, there is Amadita at the airport, with a $35 antigen. Only issue is they close early.

Antigen聽 is everywhere and takes聽聽a couple hours.

PCR聽 takes聽 24 to 36 hours it seems.聽 Best bet for those聽 Amadita and Referencia聽 labs

The Int'l Clinic in LT can do an antigen test and give you results immediately. Dave did that in August and went it, got tested, and walked out with his test results in about 15 minutes. Depending on when you are leaving for the capital, you might be able to knock it out in LT before you leave.

If you are flying after November 8 and don't have proof of vaccine, you have to have a negative test result no more than 1 day before traveling. If vaccinated, your result just has to be within 3 days of travel.

Only the antigen test is required for US travel. And it's only 2300 DOP at the International Clinic.

Amadita has an app easily found. Google it. It will show you locations, allow you to book, make payment, etc ... There are many locations and you get your results via email within hours.
