If you have a Walgreens or Urgent Care office near you that is using the IDNow test, that test is a PCR test that is accepted by EHAS and the results are usually returned in 30 minutes to 2 hours( IDNow is a rapid PCR test). This test qualifies for the 48 hour submission.
The rapid Antigen test is offered in many places CVS, Walgreens, state testing sites etc and those tests usually give results in less than 30 minutes. These test qualify under the 24 hour submission.
Both of the solutions above should allow for plenty of time to get your results and submit to EHAS and get your pre-approval. Scheduling is important, don't schedule test at 6pm when you are scheduled to fly the next morning at 9am.
Both Walgreens and CVS will give you results that meet the requirements of EHAS. I recommend printing out a hard copy and saving a digital copy of the PDF results on your phone.
I hope this helps and any clarifications just ask.
Be Happy! Simply because you deserve to be. 😁

Oops....I was thinking of the return to the USA test requirements,,,,I am vaxxed so no test needed to arrive in SXM
Sorry for my confusion
The Walgreens IdNow is an rt-pcr test and meets the requirements for arrival in SXM

Our first leg flight to FLL takes off at 6am CT. Our second leg flight from FLL to SXM is set to takeoff at 11:55am ET. I have scheduled our rapid Antigen tests for 22.5 hours prior to the stepping foot on that SECOND leg from FLL to SXM. Since it is a literal "24 hours" and not "1 day," is this correct? Yes
