COVID-19 TESts for travelling abroad

To meet the differing needs of governments worldwide, Covid 19 tests can be purchased via ExpressTest.

What are the testing requirements?

Testing requirements of governments around the world vary, are under regular review and can change quickly. You must check the latest guidance of the governments and airlines relevant to your travel plans before booking a test. You can do so by visiting the UK Government and FCDO websites and the government website of the specific country or countries you wish to enter. Be sure to also complete all appropriate paperwork and that the test that you select will provide you with the correct form of paperwork/certification for the countries and airlines relevant to your journey.

What you need to know

Carefully check the type of test, timeframe for completion and certification requirements before booking a test and ensure that there is enough time for you to receive your results and all certification required ahead of the time for completing your flight check-in.
