Test certificate

Unvaccinated individuals who need certification of a negative COVID-19 test for travel purposes can undergo a COVID-19 test. Those who test negative can obtain a test certificate for travel purposes.

Consider that tests done previously, or tests that are self-administered, are not applicable. To qualify for a test certificate, tests must be carried out by trained medical workers, or other qualified test-administrators, who physically conduct the test for COVID-19 on you. Test results are only valid for a few days (inquire what regulations applying regarding the validity period of negative tests at your destination).

It is important to be informed about which regulations apply at your destination.

If you have tested positive and would like more information about the certificate of recovery, please visit our webpage Certificate of recovery.
