Thanks for the information. When posting the tests, I’m a bit worried they won’t be processed in time to receive my negative status suitable for flying, especially since I’ll be travelling after Christmas and around the new year. Is there an option to just upload a photo of the test for randox rather than physically deliver them? It seems very counterintuitive having to isolate for 10 days to have to leave the house on day 2 and 8 to post them off…
hello, unfortunately posting is the only way. this only for those unvaccinated. you are still able to travel without the day 2 or day 8 test result i believe
Thanks for the useful information... Just want to know can I buy the arrival test earlier like a month before arriving in the UK. Will travel next month abit nervous. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thanks for the info. Does that also apply to driving to UK? I must cross multiple borders from Finland to UK, Finland-Sweden-Denmark-Germany-Holland-Belgium-France-UK.
Hello, please note there is no amber list anymore. If you are fully vaccinated please watch this video ruclips.net/video/n265qabto3M/видео.html if you are not vaccinated please watch this video ruclips.net/video/7u1TRnPt2KM/видео.html These rules apply for travel by car also
@@TheWelshCowboy hello unfortunately as it stands the new rules are only for those fully vaccinated in the UK. They are looking at changing this and opening it up but no date for as of when yet
HI I've had bad reviews about Dante Labs. But is Randox reliable? I'm thinking of doing a Day 5 test with them as well with. Do we receive our results within 24 hours? Thanks
Hello there are bad reviews about basically all of them. i have used randox 3 times and not had an issue. i have always received my results the next day also.
Ta for the video. I don't travel to London until 2nd October and I'm hoping either the US will be on the green list by then or a travel corridor will be open, but I think with the way things are going with the Delta variant, neither will happen by then. I plan to take a PCR Rapid Test at the airport on the day of my departure. I wish I could order the day 2 and 8 tests to be delivered here and take them with me but I know that's not possible. The price you got for the Test & Release test is a bit less than what I've found. Boots offers them for £85 which I'll probably go with.
hello some providers might ship internationally for an extra cost, its worth looking around. By October i am hoping they will extend the new no quarantine if you are fully vaccinated to those who are fully vaccinated by a WHO country, but that is not guaranteed. For the test to release, randox offer it for £48 or use code BritishAirways43 to get it for £43. I hope this helps. I think and hoping things will be different by then.
I wouldn't count on it if the handful of states with the increasing infection rates continue on their paths in refusing to get vaccinated. The hospitalization rates for those not vaccinated are 97% of all COVID hospitalizations. Check out this testing company. Just paid 90 GBP for 2 & 8 day tests and 50 for 5-day test-to-release test. Postage was 35. So pretty steep considering what we pay in the US. 0044covidtest.com/
Hi. I am a UK citizen returning to live in England after having lived abroad for many years in an amber listed country. I am 16 years old and wanted to check that I would not need to quarantine nor take a day 8 test due to my age (I have NOT been fully vaccinated). Many thanks!
Hello yes that is correct see here for UK residents: 11 to 17 year olds must take a: COVID-19 pre-departure test before travelling to England day 2 test on or before day 2 in England - arrival day is day 0 www.gov.uk/guidance/how-to-quarantine-when-you-arrive-in-england
Verifly did my test before leaving the UK and before leaving the USA to fly back in a video call both times and had my results in 15 minutes with the paperwork proving results in less than an hour in their app and email proof for £30 per test. But yes the two test required now that I'm back are expensive and they won't let you do them on the video calls and have to go out to take the test off. I arrived back yesterday.
You have explained this very good.thank you,my 11 Yr old son has .A.S.D.and everything has to be prossed in advance with travel plans and I was getting anxious of even taking a holiday...again...after have 4 separate ones canceled through all this 14 months.i will watch again.lolllll.before I came across your video I tried to phone randox I was 42 in the queue 😅 for information you have done a better job than the government.uk and N.I direct.website.great job.thanks again.
Hi . Thank you for the video. If a country was to switch from red to amber but 10 days did not pass on the decision of changing color upon traveling to UK, will I need to undergo hotel quarantine or home self quarantine? My second question is if coming from amber country and I am fully vaccinated with an approved UK vaccine but from outside EU and USA, do I need to book for day 2 test only or day 2 and day 8 ? Regards
Hello, if the country turns red when you are in it, even if you are only there for an hour you would be required to complete hotel quarantine when you enter the UK. Hello, if you are not vaccinated in the UK, US or Europe you will be required to take both a day 2 and day 8 test and complete the 10 day quarantine.
Thank u for the reply. For my first question , if it turned from red to amber on the coming review (25th August) and I traveled on 4th September from the newly listed amber country in under 10 days from the decision of changing color. what quarantine should I undergo ?
@@ajalani5301 Hello, the changes wont come into affect on the 25th, most likely sunday or monday night. if the country changes to amber and you leave when its amber you just need to quarantine wherever you are staying. if it stays red, or turns red you will have to undergo hotel quarantine.
Test should be done 72 hours before arrival in UK. There was few cases when people were not allowed to enter country when test way done a bit earlier. People thought that is 3 days before departure not arrival
Thank you so much!Is the day 8 test valid if you are leaving UK on the10/11 day of quarantine? Do I still need to do another test before leaving.Thank you!
hello you will still need to purchase the day 8 test and take it, but unfortunately you will need another test to leave if the country you are travelling to, or airline requires one. Hope this helps
I am confused about the day to take my covid test in the US before traveling to the UK? Is it 3 days prior to the day of departure OR 3 days before the arrival date (overnight flight)??
Hello, this should be 3 days before boarding. see this from the link below: You must take the test in the 3 days before the service on which you will arrive in England departs. For example, if you travel directly to England on Friday, you can take the test on or after Tuesday and will need to have the negative result available before boarding on Friday. www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-testing-for-people-travelling-to-england
Hi !! I am in Cancun - amber list and flying to London tomorrow. I would like to double check if I can do antigen test ? I am little bit nervous with that . Thank you so much for your video . Helped a lot !
Hello, yes you can take an antigen test as a pre departure test. see this link for all the info on it which is required www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-testing-for-people-travelling-to-england hope this helps
Thanks for doing this video. It seems I have mis-understood the day 2 & day 8 tests. I am going to Marbella (Amber) in a few weeks. I was under the impression I had to get a test done 48 hours before leaving, then do a day 2 and day 8 test while there! But it seems from your video that I just need to do a test 48 hours before leaving for Marbella, Spain. Then do another test 48 hours before coming back to the UK? And once back, then do the day 2 & day 8 in the UK. Does that sound correct. This is all so confusing.
hello yes that is correct. take a test 3 days before coming to the uk, then one on day 2 and day 8 when in the UK. depending on when you are travelling and if you are fully vaccinated, the rules change on the 19th july.
UPDATE for those fully vaccinated in the UK returning from an amber listed country or anyone returning from a green list country here - ruclips.net/video/VwGPSnPZBI8/видео.html
Hi. Just a quick question. I'm visiting UK next month from amber list country saudia.fully vaccinated. In passenger locator form for 2tests after arrival day2 and day8 there will 2different box's for test references number or just one ? If there is one box then 2 reference numbers can be enter?
@@AutopilotAviation sorry to bother you again.one clarification I need Since I'm immune fully vaccinated both doses.and coming to uk from Amber list County SAUDIA . do I have take day2 test only or dat2 and day8 both ? Isolation required ?.... kindly reply you had been very helpful and concerned
If I'm fully vaccinated in the US, do I still have to quarantine in England? I read somewhere that I only have to take the day 2 test and a test 3 days before departure, but I'm still confused about many guidelines. Additionally, if I'm staying in a hotel, how would day 2 travel test kits work if I buy them before my trip?
Hello, recently it has been released that from august 2nd those fully vaccinated in the US will no longer have to quarantine, however you will still require a test 3 days before departure and a day 2 test. I would contact your hotel and ask if they are able to receive it for you, alternatively, see if you can get it shipped to the US, or find an in person clinic close by to your hotel. (this can be more expensive sometimes). Alternatively if flying into LHR you can take one at the marriot hotel the day you arrive. hope this helps
@@AutopilotAviation will they call you or come to your place or both or only 1? And when do they usually come? will they come from 5am to 8am? What happens if you are asleep. Do the mental health reasons need to be done/backed up via your GP? I've already gotten the call and they lady said I need to talk to my GP if I want to walk outside but I'm not sure if they are in contact with the gov.
@@kaylahmeinhold4466 Hello they can do both at anytime however many times they want. like i said it is random but very common to receive a visit. they can come pretty much anytime i would assume. and i would assume if you were not there when they came by or something they would ask for a reason and evidence. i would suggest you contact your GP if that is what they recommend
Hey great video . Quick question, when leaving the USA to travel to the uk what type of test did you gave to get in the USA before boarding the flight? Pcr or antigen ? Or does any work ?
hello, i took a PCR but heres the link on what is required www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-testing-for-people-travelling-to-england Hope this helps
When arriving at Heathrow from USA (Amber) what is the best and simplest way to get the Day 2 test if I am only staying in a London hotel for two days before traveling by train to Wales?
@@TheWelshCowboy you can take a day 2 test at the marriott hotel at heathrow for only £25. but please remember you are required to quarantine for 10 days unless you take the test to release on day 5. otherwise you can face a heavy fine. heres the link for the test www.confirmtesting.com/products/green-list-day-2-test-in-clinic
hello yes, check this link for all the info on the pre departure test www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-testing-for-people-travelling-to-england hope this helps!
hello, there are possible fines i believe. the fact you have to order them to enter the UK, you may as well take them. Please dont break the rules. these are not necessarily to protect you, but those around you.
Hey, I was just going through the Passenger locator form and there's an option to add more than 1 address of stay. The thing is I'll be arriving 2 days earlier than my student accommodation contract. So I am planning to spend the first 2 days at my friends and THEN on day 3 go to my accommodation spend the remaining time there. Is this allowed? Considering the PLF allows entering multiple addresses.
Hi, my wife and I are US citizens living in Maryland, planning to visit England arriving Aug 4 on United for six weeks. We do not have a home or friends in England. My prelim research shows that the least hassle approach might be to do the Test to Release, stay/quarantine in the Hilton Garden Inn in LHR Terminal 2, and do on-site testing in Terminal 2 on Day Zero (legal according to Collinson) and Day 5 with Collison. Leave on Day 5 or 6 after neg result, and drop off a Day 8 test or get an in-person test at the Midlands Airport Collinson facility. Expensive per person at 165 pounds for the Day Zero (Day 2) test and Day 8 test, plus 95 more pounds for the Day 5 test. But less hassle? What do you think? Thanks for a great video!!! LT
yes that should work. if cost is an issue, maybe contact the hotel and see if you are able to get tests posted to the hotel. not sure if any do this but might be worth a try. otherwise i dont see an issue with what you have planned
Hi, do you know if the randox pre departure test can be taken for Italy because they require 48 hours and I’m not sure if the randox one is just 72 hours or can be used for 48 hours
hello i believe you can take it whenever so you are able to take it within the 48 hours but remember it is a pcr test so you may not get the results in time. hope this helps. my suggestion if it doesnt have to be a PCR test maybe try to get a rapid test from the airport you are travelling from.
Hi thanks for ur vedio just a question I have to travel in Italy next week do u know if I can book all my test in one time including the test from the uk
Great Video. Thanks for the info. Curiosity, Did you get the day 2 and day 8 test when you arrived back in the U.K from the Airport or was it delivered to the place you are staying? Thanks
Hello, you have to purchase them before you leave. Most companies ship to you house or where you are quarantining in the UK. Put in whatever delivery address you require when ordering it. Hope this helps
FROM 4TH OCTOBER 2021: - new clearer travel system: red list and rest of world - simpler, cheaper rules for fully vaccinated travellers coming from non-red list countries - fully vaccinated passengers will be able to replace day 2 PCR tests with cheaper lateral flow tests - from the end of October - and no longer need to take pre-departure tests (PDTs) - 8 destinations removed from red list including Turkey and Pakistan - government recognises full vaccinations from a further 17 countries and territories including Japan and Singapore www.gov.uk/government/news/new-system-for-international-travel I will make an updated video on this ASAP
hello unfortunately not. you have to have been fully vaccinated in the UK as they will only accerpt the NHS covid pass currently which can only account for those who have been vaccinated in the UK. I am in a similar situation being a uk citizen, but vaccinated in the US. They did say they are looking into changing this soon however who knows when that is. it has already been at least 2 weeks since they said this. This means, as it stands you will still be required to quarantine and take the day 2 and 8 tests.
Hello, it should be the same form it just might ask you a couple of different questions. But i have not done this so cant really say. Sorry i cannot be more help
Hi, I ordered a test online for my mum who is arriving to the UK. When I filled the form in in her name, at the checkout I noticed that Google had auto filled the form in my name! Would this be a problem or would I just need the passenger locator form number? Thank you for the video! I should have looked for this before I did my booking!
Hello. Thanka for making this video! I would like to as how did you get checked during self-isolation? Did you get phone calls, video calls or messages?
hello i did not receive any phone calls, but i was having issues with my phone and my number didn't actually work until day 9 so cant really say on that part. i have read of many people getting phone calls. I personally had someone turn up at my door on day 8 to check i was quarantining and if i needed anything. he asked to see ID and checked it with what was on his system. Again, i had read of this happening to a lot of people and i know others personally who were checked too. if you are caught not quarantining, i think its like a £500 fine or something. hope this helps
hello, you would finish at 11:59pm on the 19th as it has to be the whole day and the day you arrive counts as day 0. You wouldnt be allowed out until the 20th from what i understand. see this link www.gov.uk/guidance/how-to-quarantine-when-you-arrive-in-england
Thanks for breaking this down - was very useful. In your experience, we are allowed to go out during the quarantine for food shopping and posting the covid test? Not complaining, seems a bit strange when the quarantine was supposed to limit you at home? 🤔
Hi I just arrived in london don’t be nervous it’s super easy no border control just like before only thing you need is the tests and the locator form don’t read the press it’s all lieee
Thnk you! You will be fine just make sure you have your passenger locator form and negative test to present at check in and i am sure it will go fine! Good luck
Hi Great videos !! I went to turkey from 28th - 6th then flew to Spain on the 16th landed at lunchtime i have booked my flight back to the uk on the 17th 835am arrival would this be ok to avoid hotel quarantine 🙏🙏🙏
I am going to Poland for a few weeks at the end of August, I have UK government antigen Covid test kit (lateral flow test). Can I use this test kit to go to Poland as proof of negative Covid at any UK airport? Or do I have to do a PCR test before I leave and then another one once I return?
hello, no you will be required to pay for one. you cannot use the free NHS tests. dependent on the destination and airline, it depends what test you require. most require you to take a PCR test. When you return, it can either be a PCR test or an antigen test, but again you cannot take an NHS test, and this test requires certain things on it, such as you name, DOB, date and time you took the test etc. please see this link here for help with what you require to reenter www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-testing-for-people-travelling-to-england
@@AutopilotAviation OK. It is so expensive to get a single PCR test to fly out. Coming back I need a different variation PCR test - two of them!! I want to have a PCR test done before I fly out, I have heard horror stories regarding results arriving late. I have no problems getting physically to one of their testing sites.
@@matldn2697 Hello, if you are fully vaccinated in the UK, Europe, or the US, you will only require a day 2 test when you return, plus a pre departure test 3 days before. the day 2 test can be picked up for £43 and a pre departure test that you can take with you can be picked up also for around £45, but some travel companies offer a discount rate, also some countries offer them for free. it depends on the country you are traveling to as to if you need a PCR test or an antigen test. antigen tests are a lot cheaper and can be picked up for around £30 for a fit to fly certificate. hope this helps.
I live in China. I need to get back to the UK to see my elderly parents. I have been fully vaccinated here in China. Here is the BUT. Documents are in Chinese not English. Tests are documented in Chinese. How can I travel to the UK. Can anybody help me!
Hello, unfortunately your vaccination status will not get you out of quarantine as it stands if you received it in china. as for the test to enter, "Your test result must be in either English, French or Spanish." and cannot be translated. Sorry i cannot be more help.
hello i am not sure about royal mail as i said i did not really look at the other methods as i was happy with the drop box. i would suggest phoning or contacting randox
for the covid testing 72 hours before, since im going to england from USA, my flight is on a sunday does that mean i can still take a covid test on thursday and it will still count that it's within 72 hours because of the time zone difference? im coming from cali so i will land in england on monday and it will be technically 4 days but i still took it within 3 days if you get rid of the timezone difference
Hi again,..I received an email from Randox today around 11:00 am telling me they received the package ! Problem is I haven’t received yet results ! I spoke with Randox team , they said i have to wait till 23:59 for my results Could you please tell me about your experience receiving your results How long i took from the moment you received the email about package been received,..and results ?

@@AutopilotAviation Everything went ok ,…I’m in Greece now One thing i want to mention,..Greek authorities are not interested about pre departure test,…UK government make that compulsory to sell tests We did show the test ,.. Greek authorities said not interested,…they said we must do a quick test to the airport , and if negative we are free to go ,..not all family only one person from the family So all pre departure test are to make someone wealthy , and to stop people going,…nothing to do with Greek restrictions ! Many English people got very angry with UK government,..because payed a lot of money for nothing ! They even were arguing with Greek authorities ,..but nothing they can do ,..to late to make a stand in someones else’s country

hello unfortunately i have read this a common occurrence online. i have ordered from them twice and both times it came within 3 days. When i ordered i think it said between 2-4 business days. sorry i cannot be much more help i can only speak from my experience.
Thank you for the useful information. I realised I made a mistake, my day 2 and 8 tests are being delivered to my quarantine address but my day 5 test which I did later on is being delivered to a different address. Do you think this matters for the passenger locator form? As I can get someone (who wouldn’t be isolating) to drop it off to me or through my letter box.
hello if your child is a resident of the UK or Europe she will not need to quarantine, however if she isnt, she will be required to quarantine and take all the tests
Children over 4 (or maybe 4+) are required to get the 2- and 8-day tests. How do I know? I'm taking my 6 yo grandchild to the UK day after tomorrow. Hope this helps. Anyone under 10 does not need the pre-arrival proof of negative COVID-19 test.
hello if you are uk citizens returning from an amber country then children aged 5-17 will be required to take a day 2 test and will not be required to quarantine, same for adults if you are fully vaccinated in the UK. However, if not a citizen, then they will need to take the day 2 and day 8 test from my understanding. you should however try to check this with you airline and/or the British embassy. Hope this helps
Hey I’m going on a day trip to Italy , leaving in the morning and coming back in the night, just wondering would I need to the the antigen test in Italy before flying back ?

@@rosiequinn2222 As i said it is linked to the Passenger locator form with the booking reference of the test that you input whilst registering the test and enter on the passenger locator.

Do i order the test kits b4 i fly. And do i recive them in the uk. Do i have to put the information in my location form need to fly back home need help
hello yes you order them before you leave as you have to put the booking reference of the tests on the passenger locator form. and yes you also receive them in the UK. they are sent to the address you put down which should be the address you are going to quarantine at. with the passenger locator form, it is very simple just answer the questions it asks

Hello there shouldnt be a penalty as on the gov.uk website it states you are allowed to leave quarantine for essential reasons and dropping off a test is listed as one of them.
Hi Thanks a lot for your video, which was really helpful. I'm on my way back to UK from amber listed country. It seems Randox was good enough for you however there are so many negative reviews so I would like an advise. Randox is def cheaper one.
hello i can only comment on my experience. i have not read others reviews on it, but i had absolutely no issues. They were perfect from my experience. every company is going to have some negative reviews. they all pretty much do the same thing and it is your choice. i only chose them because they were one of the cheapest and recommended by my airline British Airways. hope this kind of helps.

@@TiggerZ1969 Hello, as it stands the new rules are only for those fully vaccinated in the uk. they are looking at changing this but no one knows when. as it stands currently, you will have to go through all this: test before you leave, test on day 2 and day 8 and quarantine for 10 days. alternatively you can take the day 5 test and get out of quarantine on day 6. like i said though, i am hoping they open the vaccines up to anywhere or those part of WHO.

@@yolieraya6683 hi i can only speak with experience with randox. i ordered them and they came within 2 days. they do say delivery takes 2-4 working days i think. hope this helps
Thanks for your information was very helpful. I have a question that I don't think has been covered is if you do a Test to Release on Day Five and all is good and Negative, I am sure on the Government website it says that you have to do a new Passenger locator form.
hello, if you decide to do this before completing your original passenger locator form, it will ask you if you wish to participate in the scheme which you tick yes and answer the following questions. However, if you decide to participate in it once you are already in the UK, then you will have to fill out a new passenger locator form. I did not know this until researching it so thank you for asking the question. I hope this helps.
Very informative. Further on, if travelling to Scotland or port of entry is England and final destination is in Scotland, the tests must be booked via CTM. Private test kits are not accepted in Scotland. Fixed price of £170 for day 2 and day 8 test kit.

Thanks for the information. When posting the tests, I’m a bit worried they won’t be processed in time to receive my negative status suitable for flying, especially since I’ll be travelling after Christmas and around the new year. Is there an option to just upload a photo of the test for randox rather than physically deliver them? It seems very counterintuitive having to isolate for 10 days to have to leave the house on day 2 and 8 to post them off…
hello, unfortunately posting is the only way. this only for those unvaccinated. you are still able to travel without the day 2 or day 8 test result i believe
Thanks for the useful information...
Just want to know can I buy the arrival test earlier like a month before arriving in the UK. Will travel next month abit nervous.
🥰🥰🥰🥰
Yes i would recommend you do this
@@AutopilotAviation Thanks for your Time you are appreciated 🙏🏽
Thanks for the info.
Does that also apply to driving to UK?
I must cross multiple borders from Finland to UK,
Finland-Sweden-Denmark-Germany-Holland-Belgium-France-UK.
Hello, please note there is no amber list anymore. If you are fully vaccinated please watch this video ruclips.net/video/n265qabto3M/видео.html if you are not vaccinated please watch this video ruclips.net/video/7u1TRnPt2KM/видео.html These rules apply for travel by car also
Should I do an updated version for the change of rules for those fully vaccinated?
Currently working on this, please give me a couple of days to read up, film and edit. Thanks for all your support
Yes, please.
Yes please. I am USA fully vaccinated so this would be very helpful to know when arriving at Heathrow.
@@TheWelshCowboy hello unfortunately as it stands the new rules are only for those fully vaccinated in the UK. They are looking at changing this and opening it up but no date for as of when yet
@@AutopilotAviation so if I am an American and fully vaccinated, my vaccination status doesn’t count?
Hiya can u do a video on the new travel rules for Red list and rest of the world from Oct 4th
I will soon when i get a chance!
Thank you for the breakdown of the steps. I'm surprised how calm and how settled with the idea you seem to be.
You're welcome. It's annoying and an added cost but at the end of the day, its whats needed to get home. Quarantine did drag though haha
Do you register your Day 2 test before your flight or once your home and taken the swab
Hello, you register it when you take it, but you need the booking reference number from the email to add to the passenger locator form.
HI I've had bad reviews about Dante Labs. But is Randox reliable? I'm thinking of doing a Day 5 test with them as well with. Do we receive our results within 24 hours? Thanks
Hello there are bad reviews about basically all of them. i have used randox 3 times and not had an issue. i have always received my results the next day also.
@@AutopilotAviation thanks for your reply and for breaking down the steps. btw will the kit usually arrive on Day 1? or much earlier?
@@fritz1234512345 hello it takes 3-6 business days i believe from ordering
Ta for the video. I don't travel to London until 2nd October and I'm hoping either the US will be on the green list by then or a travel corridor will be open, but I think with the way things are going with the Delta variant, neither will happen by then. I plan to take a PCR Rapid Test at the airport on the day of my departure. I wish I could order the day 2 and 8 tests to be delivered here and take them with me but I know that's not possible. The price you got for the Test & Release test is a bit less than what I've found. Boots offers them for £85 which I'll probably go with.
hello some providers might ship internationally for an extra cost, its worth looking around. By October i am hoping they will extend the new no quarantine if you are fully vaccinated to those who are fully vaccinated by a WHO country, but that is not guaranteed. For the test to release, randox offer it for £48 or use code BritishAirways43 to get it for £43. I hope this helps. I think and hoping things will be different by then.
I wouldn't count on it if the handful of states with the increasing infection rates continue on their paths in refusing to get vaccinated. The hospitalization rates for those not vaccinated are 97% of all COVID hospitalizations. Check out this testing company. Just paid 90 GBP for 2 & 8 day tests and 50 for 5-day test-to-release test. Postage was 35. So pretty steep considering what we pay in the US. 0044covidtest.com/
Hi. I am a UK citizen returning to live in England after having lived abroad for many years in an amber listed country. I am 16 years old and wanted to check that I would not need to quarantine nor take a day 8 test due to my age (I have NOT been fully vaccinated). Many thanks!
Hello yes that is correct see here for UK residents: 11 to 17 year olds must take a:
COVID-19 pre-departure test before travelling to England
day 2 test on or before day 2 in England - arrival day is day 0
www.gov.uk/guidance/how-to-quarantine-when-you-arrive-in-england
Do they call/come over before day 8 aswell?
Hello yes they can do this at anytime
Verifly did my test before leaving the UK and before leaving the USA to fly back in a video call both times and had my results in 15 minutes with the paperwork proving results in less than an hour in their app and email proof for £30 per test. But yes the two test required now that I'm back are expensive and they won't let you do them on the video calls and have to go out to take the test off. I arrived back yesterday.

Is it fine to leave the house and walk to the location to drop the box and come back? Or is it breaking the quarantine rule/risky? 🤔
Hello you are allowed to drop off the test whilst in quarantine. it counts as an exemption to quarantine
@@AutopilotAviation alright, thank you so much! 😊
Hi . Thank you for the video. If a country was to switch from red to amber but 10 days did not pass on the decision of changing color upon traveling to UK, will I need to undergo hotel quarantine or home self quarantine? My second question is if coming from amber country and I am fully vaccinated with an approved UK vaccine but from outside EU and USA, do I need to book for day 2 test only or day 2 and day 8 ? Regards
Hello, if the country turns red when you are in it, even if you are only there for an hour you would be required to complete hotel quarantine when you enter the UK. Hello, if you are not vaccinated in the UK, US or Europe you will be required to take both a day 2 and day 8 test and complete the 10 day quarantine.
Thank u for the reply. For my first question , if it turned from red to amber on the coming review (25th August) and I traveled on 4th September from the newly listed amber country in under 10 days from the decision of changing color. what quarantine should I undergo ?
@@ajalani5301 Hello, the changes wont come into affect on the 25th, most likely sunday or monday night. if the country changes to amber and you leave when its amber you just need to quarantine wherever you are staying. if it stays red, or turns red you will have to undergo hotel quarantine.
Test should be done 72 hours before arrival in UK. There was few cases when people were not allowed to enter country when test way done a bit earlier. People thought that is 3 days before departure not arrival
It is said that you have to quarantine at a place having private bathroom in the house
So does it mean can we share the rest of the house?
yes
Thank you so much!Is the day 8 test valid if you are leaving UK on the10/11 day of quarantine? Do I still need to do another test before leaving.Thank you!
hello you will still need to purchase the day 8 test and take it, but unfortunately you will need another test to leave if the country you are travelling to, or airline requires one. Hope this helps
Sounds like one big money making scheme
Exactly
I am confused about the day to take my covid test in the US before traveling to the UK? Is it 3 days prior to the day of departure OR 3 days before the arrival date (overnight flight)??
Hello, this should be 3 days before boarding. see this from the link below:
You must take the test in the 3 days before the service on which you will arrive in England departs.
For example, if you travel directly to England on Friday, you can take the test on or after Tuesday and will need to have the negative result available before boarding on Friday.

Thanks for doing this video. It seems I have mis-understood the day 2 & day 8 tests. I am going to Marbella (Amber) in a few weeks. I was under the impression I had to get a test done 48 hours before leaving, then do a day 2 and day 8 test while there! But it seems from your video that I just need to do a test 48 hours before leaving for Marbella, Spain. Then do another test 48 hours before coming back to the UK? And once back, then do the day 2 & day 8 in the UK. Does that sound correct. This is all so confusing.
hello yes that is correct. take a test 3 days before coming to the uk, then one on day 2 and day 8 when in the UK. depending on when you are travelling and if you are fully vaccinated, the rules change on the 19th july.

Hi. Just a quick question.
I'm visiting UK next month from amber list country saudia.fully vaccinated.
In passenger locator form for 2tests after arrival day2 and day8 there will 2different box's for test references number or just one ? If there is one box then 2 reference numbers can be enter?
hello the booking reference will be on the email conformation you receive. there will only be one. you are only asked to enter one.

If I'm fully vaccinated in the US, do I still have to quarantine in England? I read somewhere that I only have to take the day 2 test and a test 3 days before departure, but I'm still confused about many guidelines. Additionally, if I'm staying in a hotel, how would day 2 travel test kits work if I buy them before my trip?
Hello, recently it has been released that from august 2nd those fully vaccinated in the US will no longer have to quarantine, however you will still require a test 3 days before departure and a day 2 test. I would contact your hotel and ask if they are able to receive it for you, alternatively, see if you can get it shipped to the US, or find an in person clinic close by to your hotel. (this can be more expensive sometimes). Alternatively if flying into LHR you can take one at the marriot hotel the day you arrive. hope this helps
Will they always come on day 8? Can we walk for mental health reasons? The lady that called me said I need to phone my GP.
Hello they can come or call anytime before or after. they are random checks. and yes you are allowed out for medical reasons

Hi, my wife and I are US citizens living in Maryland, planning to visit England arriving Aug 4 on United for six weeks. We do not have a home or friends in England. My prelim research shows that the least hassle approach might be to do the Test to Release, stay/quarantine in the Hilton Garden Inn in LHR Terminal 2, and do on-site testing in Terminal 2 on Day Zero (legal according to Collinson) and Day 5 with Collison. Leave on Day 5 or 6 after neg result, and drop off a Day 8 test or get an in-person test at the Midlands Airport Collinson facility. Expensive per person at 165 pounds for the Day Zero (Day 2) test and Day 8 test, plus 95 more pounds for the Day 5 test. But less hassle? What do you think? Thanks for a great video!!! LT
yes that should work. if cost is an issue, maybe contact the hotel and see if you are able to get tests posted to the hotel. not sure if any do this but might be worth a try. otherwise i dont see an issue with what you have planned
Hi, do you know if the randox pre departure test can be taken for Italy because they require 48 hours and I’m not sure if the randox one is just 72 hours or can be used for 48 hours
hello i believe you can take it whenever so you are able to take it within the 48 hours but remember it is a pcr test so you may not get the results in time. hope this helps. my suggestion if it doesnt have to be a PCR test maybe try to get a rapid test from the airport you are travelling from.
Hi thanks for ur vedio just a question I have to travel in Italy next week do u know if I can book all my test in one time including the test from the uk
i think some websites can. i know randox do packages. hope this helps
Thanks for this. I got back from Majorca yesterday as 22nd/July amber but no need to self isolate if you double jabbed!

Great Video. Thanks for the info. Curiosity, Did you get the day 2 and day 8 test when you arrived back in the U.K from the Airport or was it delivered to the place you are staying? Thanks

FROM 4TH OCTOBER 2021:
- new clearer travel system: red list and rest of world
- simpler, cheaper rules for fully vaccinated travellers coming from non-red list countries - fully vaccinated passengers will be able to replace day 2 PCR tests with cheaper lateral flow tests - from the end of October - and no longer need to take pre-departure tests (PDTs)
- 8 destinations removed from red list including Turkey and Pakistan
- government recognises full vaccinations from a further 17 countries and territories including Japan and Singapore
www.gov.uk/government/news/new-system-for-international-travel
I will make an updated video on this ASAP
Going to England from USA and I have been fully vaccinated in USA with Moderna. Does that qualify as "fully UK vaccinated"?
hello unfortunately not. you have to have been fully vaccinated in the UK as they will only accerpt the NHS covid pass currently which can only account for those who have been vaccinated in the UK. I am in a similar situation being a uk citizen, but vaccinated in the US. They did say they are looking into changing this soon however who knows when that is. it has already been at least 2 weeks since they said this. This means, as it stands you will still be required to quarantine and take the day 2 and 8 tests.

I've been 3x during covid havnt checked on me once
hello i did not receive any phone calls, but i was having issues with my phone and my number didn't actually work until day 9 so cant really say on that part. i have read of many people getting phone calls. I personally had someone turn up at my door on day 8 to check i was quarantining and if i needed anything. he asked to see ID and checked it with what was on his system. Again, i had read of this happening to a lot of people and i know others personally who were checked too. if you are caught not quarantining, i think its like a £500 fine or something. hope this helps

hello, yes this will be fine. i would recommend staying 11 days just to be sure
Who checks whether you have done your day 2 test?
Also I don’t think I need a negative test to enter Tenerife ?
Hello, when you register your kit if using randox you have to put the booking reference number in which you also have to put on your passenger locator form
@@rosiequinn2222 And for tenerife you are required to show proof of a negative test or that you are fully vaccinated
@@AutopilotAviation hi sorry I Meant for the day 2 test after arrival in the uk. Who checks this?
@@rosiequinn2222 As i said it is linked to the Passenger locator form with the booking reference of the test that you input whilst registering the test and enter on the passenger locator. If you arent going to be in the country you do not have to take it. otherwise there is no reason why you shouldnt take it.
Do i order the test kits b4 i fly. And do i recive them in the uk. Do i have to put the information in my location form need to fly back home need help
hello yes you order them before you leave as you have to put the booking reference of the tests on the passenger locator form. and yes you also receive them in the UK. they are sent to the address you put down which should be the address you are going to quarantine at. with the passenger locator form, it is very simple just answer the questions it asks
Hey hi just want to know m. Travelling to Uk from amber list country but I have transit flight 3 hours from red list country so what's the procedure do I have to booked hotel for Quarantine??
hello if you get off, or new passengers get on then it counts as a red country unfortunately. www.gov.uk/guidance/red-amber-and-green-list-rules-for-entering-england rules are stated near the bottom here
Is it a fit to fly test you need? I traveled from the UK yesterday what I needed to enter the US was just wondering if it’s the same kind of test needed.
i am not sure. the uk website just says "proof of a negative result from a test taken in the 3 days before the service departs." this link talks all about it and states what type of tests. hope this helps. www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-testing-for-people-travelling-to-england
@@AutopilotAviation what kind of test did you take and where at? It may ask?
@@TheIceman567 hello are you asking for my test in the US to get to the UK or my test in the UK to get to the US?
@@AutopilotAviation yes test from the US going to the UK. what kind of test did you take and where at? It may ask?
@@TheIceman567 i took a PCR test. i believe it can be a PCR or Antigen, i think it includes lateral flow tests. www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-testing-for-people-travelling-to-england this link states everything you need. i was lucky and was able to take one at my university but my friend got an antigen test done at JFK airport so it might be worth checking if your airport is offering tests. there are a lot of testing places in America i just dont know if they are free. hope this helps
You can get those swab free from pharmacy ! Why Govt forcing us to spent money one !
Yes but unfortunately for travel you have to buy them as they arent essential. You chose to travel at this time, you have to pay. very annoying i know.
@@AutopilotAviation it's a clawback strategy to get money out of public purse by limiting freedom of movent. In reality those swab test probably wouldn't cost more than couple of quid but how much they are charging is absolutely astonishing!
Wonderfull, thanks a lot for the info, if we take "test to release" in day 5 and the result is negative, can we take the day 8 test out of town?
hello, i believe so but not 100% sure
How fast did it get to your home from the time you order it.
it was fast maybe 4 days i think
whiwh test did you take for the departure test ?
The departure test from america i took a PCR test. If you are asking what test i took to go out to america from the UK, i took an antigen test at Stansted airport which was £50 but i believe there are other options now. hope this answers your question.
Could you do travel to a green list country, unvaccinated please🙏🏽
Hello, already made one. see it here ruclips.net/video/c6MU1SWCclE/видео.html for a green list country it doesnt matter if you are vaccinated or not
hey! I’ve tried my best to read up on it. My fiancé is in the UK and I’m a US citizen. I want to visit her. as long as I’m vaccinated and take the day 2 and day 8 test while I’m there quarantining I should be okay right?
hello if you are fully vaccinated please see this video. ruclips.net/video/c6MU1SWCclE/видео.html you will only need to take the day 2 test and will avoid quarantine.
Thank you for this useful video.
I was wondering if there would be a penalty charge if they came and checked us out but we are not at home we are out to drop off our PCR test??
Hello there shouldnt be a penalty as on the gov.uk website it states you are allowed to leave quarantine for essential reasons and dropping off a test is listed as one of them.
@@AutopilotAviation Did anyone personally come to check if you were quarantining?
@@PixieFan900 Yes someone came by on Day 8. it is explained in the video
This helps - thank you.
thank you very much!
Thank you !
Very helpful
thank you!
Hi Thanks a lot for your video, which was really helpful. I'm on my way back to UK from amber listed country. It seems Randox was good enough for you however there are so many negative reviews so I would like an advise. Randox is def cheaper one.
hello i can only comment on my experience. i have not read others reviews on it, but i had absolutely no issues. They were perfect from my experience. every company is going to have some negative reviews. they all pretty much do the same thing and it is your choice. i only chose them because they were one of the cheapest and recommended by my airline British Airways. hope this kind of helps.
@@AutopilotAviation Hi there, Thanks a lot for your kind response. I really appreciate it. Yes, totally agree on what you said. It is def cheaper. It is good to know that there is good experience. BTW, You were kept apologizing on your video, but I did not think any of them are a problem. It was simply easy to understand and helpful.
@@ivyandliz Appreciate it thank you
@@ivyandliz if you chose randox were you ok with the tests , I’m off to Tenerife in less than 2 weeks and ordered with Randox , got my test today and will do it just before I leave maybe a few days , if so how was your expreriencd
@@samdaviesaviationandfootba2602 Hi there
My experience with Randox was quite good I thought.
Basically you get your result next day midnight latest, but I’ve got my result in the next morning. I recommend to use drop off point. I can answer if there’s any particular question. I stopped off on Heathrow Raddison hotel, Isleworth.
I recommend for the price also.
Please do an update.thank you
Already in the works, give me a couple of days. thanks for the support
Amazing video Vlog, thanks for sharing 🥰

thank you!
Very interesting, thanks for sharing 🙂
thank you
Hi where do I find the URN
Hello, if with randox it is the letters and numbers on the sticker. it should also be stuck around the tube. i also think it is on the box in the triangle maybe.
New update for those vaccinated in the UK, US or Europe
ruclips.net/video/c6MU1SWCclE/видео.html
An updated version for those who are fully vaccinated or wanting to travel somewhere on the green list is currently in the works. Check back in a couple of days!
Hello there. I live in the USA and I am book on a couple of cruises.. out of Southampton. As an American Citizen and fully vaccinated what are the rules I must meet to enter the UK for August 2021.. can you please inform me? Want to know if its worst visiting the UK of Cancelled my trip…
Truly..
TiggerZ…..
Forgive my typo…
@@TiggerZ1969 Hello, as it stands the new rules are only for those fully vaccinated in the uk. they are looking at changing this but no one knows when. as it stands currently, you will have to go through all this: test before you leave, test on day 2 and day 8 and quarantine for 10 days. alternatively you can take the day 5 test and get out of quarantine on day 6. like i said though, i am hoping they open the vaccines up to anywhere or those part of WHO. Hope this helps
If I order test day 2 and 8 how long will they take to arrive home? I want to make sure I have them before I travel.
@@yolieraya6683 hi i can only speak with experience with randox. i ordered them and they came within 2 days. they do say delivery takes 2-4 working days i think. hope this helps
How can I do the booking
Hello for what? the day 2 and day 8 tests?
@@AutopilotAviation yes please
@@samuelbamfoadjei1105 just go to randox website. the link is in the description, then just click the day 2 and day 8 test. hope this helps.
It’s only £86 for day 2&8 test
yes luckily prices have decreased since making this video. i linked some of the cheaper options and mention it in the description. thanks.
Thanks for your information was very helpful. I have a question that I don't think has been covered is if you do a Test to Release on Day Five and all is good and Negative, I am sure on the Government website it says that you have to do a new Passenger locator form.
hello, if you decide to do this before completing your original passenger locator form, it will ask you if you wish to participate in the scheme which you tick yes and answer the following questions. However, if you decide to participate in it once you are already in the UK, then you will have to fill out a new passenger locator form. I did not know this until researching it so thank you for asking the question. I hope this helps.
@@AutopilotAviation No worries Thanks to you I think I have this process nailed now for future travels.
@@IanCassanova good to hear. Glad i could be of help
Very informative. Further on, if travelling to Scotland or port of entry is England and final destination is in Scotland, the tests must be booked via CTM. Private test kits are not accepted in Scotland. Fixed price of £170 for day 2 and day 8 test kit.
Hello yes someone mentioned that on a previous video. thank you for mentioning it
