Standard PCR test for travel (‘fit to fly’ test)

This is the test you need if you’re travelling abroad and need a Fit to Fly certificate to show that you do not have Covid-19. The results are normally sent to you late afternoon/evening the day after your test.  If you require a test between Monday and Saturday, (for results by midday the next day) only the Fast Track Service is available and this is between 8am and 11am. Please click here to choose the fast track test.

Please ensure you select the appropriate appointment to allow enough time to receive your results and for them to be valid within the required window of your departure time (or destination arrival time if applicable).

Results are normally sent by the end of the next day. On rare occasions swab tests give inconclusive results, after which the lab automatically retests your swab. A retest normally produces a successful result, but could delay your result by a few hours.

Standard PCR tests are available only on a Sunday between 9am and 2pm.
