Many countries and airlines require individuals to provide a travel clearance certificate which shows evidence of a negative COVID-19 PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test prior to travel, usually taken no more than 72-96 hours before your flight.
Testing all passengers prior to flying helps to reduce COVID-19 transmission during flight. For many countries, Real Time PCR (RT-PCR) is the accepted method of COVID-19 testing for travel purposes.
With COVID-19 test results available within 12-24 hours of sample receipt at Randox laboratories in Northern Ireland, our rapid, accurate and reliable COVID-19 PCR testing service will help get your trip off to a hassle-free start, with minimum disruption to your travel plans.

Any UK or Irish resident travelling to England must self-isolate for the first 10 days after arrival.
If you are a traveller who has returned from a ‘red list’ of countries then you must organise your self-isolation through a designated hotel. You will be required to take a coronavirus test on days two and eight of quarantine. If you test positive, you must self-isolate for a further 10 days.
If you intend to travel to England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland from these countries, please refer to local government advice for the latest guidance.
Before you return to the UK you must provide your journey and contact details. You must self-isolate when you enter the UK from any foreign country except Ireland, unless you have a valid exemption.
UK Government guidance currently states that the COVID-19 vaccine will not interfere with testing for COVID-19 infection. The Guidance on COVID-19 antibody testing further states that the COVID-19 vaccine will not affect the result of antibody tests indicating previous infection.
It is not yet known whether getting the vaccine prevents you spreading the disease to others, so COVID-19 testing remains key, as do precautionary measures such as face masks and social distancing.
Most countries still require you to provide evidence of a negative COVID-19 test result taken up to 3 days before departure. Please refer to your destination government guidelines for the most up to date information on your entry requirements.
