Testing Providers
Not all providers offer the same testing services. Before you look for a private provider, you’ll need to identify what testing service you need by checking the entry requirements for the country you are travelling to and the rules for returning to the UK. You can visit GOV.UK for guidance on finding and choosing a private test provider.
Last updated 10th May 2022. Please note it is your responsibility to ensure the test you take is the right type and is from an approved testing company.
