COVID-19 travel testing requirements

COVID-19 travel testing requirements

With more and more Brits heading off on their much-anticipated, much-needed, and very much overdue overseas holidays, the UK and other countries around the world are using COVID-19 testing to help prevent the spread of the virus and ensure international travel is as safe as possible.

No matter where you’re going, it’s highly likely that you will need to test at some point during your journey, either before you depart, before you return, or both. This is especially true now that the Omicron variant of the virus has become a widespread international concern.

The tests you will need to take before and/or after your trip will depend on the country you are visiting and if you’re fully vaccinated, which in many cases reduces the number you will need to take. Depending on the UK’s arrival rules, you may also need to test before you return and continue testing for a period of time when you are back home.

If you’re travelling with children, you will also need to check which COVID-19 testing requirements apply to children for your destination.
