Your responsibility
Entry requirements differ from country to country and may be subject to change with very little notice so please check the UK government site regularly before you travel.
We recommend confirming the current lead-times for your chosen test directly with the supplier to ensure you allow enough time before departure.
Each passenger is responsible for checking and conforming with the entry and exit requirements at their arrival and return destinations. Please be aware that if you fail to comply with these requirements you may not be able to travel or be allowed to enter your destination.
