Testing for departing passengers

Passengers should check the rules and/or restrictions of the arrival destination country with your airline or tour operator. Some countries require you to carry out a test before arriving and may have local restrictions in place which you should be aware of before you depart.

NHS tests cannot be used for the purpose of pre-departure testing, a private test needs to be booked. The type of test and timing required in which to take the test varies by destination. Please ensure that you confirm the type of test required before booking a test.
