You have to book a test on line UK before you leave, fully-vaccinated people arriving from a non-red list country can now use a lateral flow test either on, or before, day two of their return. Passengers need to book tests before travelling to the UK. They must send a picture of their lateral flow test to verify the result, and failure to do so could result in a fine of £1,000

No. But you will need to order a test for 2-days after your return to the U.K. and fill out a passenger locator form a maximum of 2 days before you travel … inputting that all-important test kit reference number on the form - else it won’t save and you won’t get a QR code.

'The other way round you book the test before you leave to take within 48 hours of arrival. 

See below link below... 

If you are fully vaccinated and travelling to England from a non-red list country, you need to book and pay for a COVID-19 in advance of flying. This is because you’ll need to put your booking reference on your Passenger Locator Form.

If you are a fully vaccinated Brit, you will need a 2-day post arrival test booked at the time you fill out the U.K. PLF.

Hello shona 


we only had to doa 2 day lateral flow test but it was easy however we ordered it to be delivered home prior to leaving Duquesa very easy we used Randox and the process was simple it’s easy to fiddle the result as they cannot trace who has actually taken the test so in my view it’s an unnecessary test just a money maker 

we have just bought an apartment in Mikanos building in Duquesa 

Please Can you give us some information regarding airport transfers 

Any rental companies so we can rent the apartment out 

And any relevant info we may need 

will be very appreciated if you can

Regards

Dave and liz
