COVID19 Border Entry Test
Travel restrictions are changing every day during the current covid-19 pandemic situation. Many countries now require a clean COVID 19 test in order to enter through customs and immigration. You may also want to get tested for your own peace of mind so that you know you’ve done everything in your power to avoid infecting others on your journey. We are now able to offer collection using a PCR COVID19 Test, which makes the self-testing process easier.
In general, the tests need to be processed between three and five days before the flight departure but please confirm the details required by your specific destination. You can read the most up-to-date guidance on the Foreign Office website here.

In general, once your test arrives at our lab facility you should have a result emailed to you within 72 hrs. Please ensure this meets your travel requirements prior to ordering. In particular please take weekends into account as there is a drastically reduced service available at weekends.
