Tests you may need travelling to and from resort
Updated 3rd May 2022
COVID testing has now become the norm in the world of travel and to help you navigate through the requirements, we’ve put together the below guidance for you on what tests you may require when travelling to resort and returning home.
Entry Requirements for Italy
All guests aged 6 and above must be able to show one of the following in order to enter Italy:
Our Trusted Advisors will carry out a call with you around 10 days before your holiday to discuss the most up to date requirements specific to your holiday destination allowing you and us enough time to carry out the necessary tests. In addition this information will also be clearly highlighted on your departure documents, specifying the time before travel that the test must be conducted and any requirements for children as well as adults. Some destinations may now allow you to enter using a rapid antigen test. Your Trusted Advisor will confirm with you what test you need prior to travelling.
Your Trusted Advisor will be available to answer any queries on testing requirements on individual destinations up to the time you travel and whilst you are on holiday.
The below are four independent companies who provide pre-travel testing services. We have provided information about these should you wish to use their services. Please ensure you verify with your chosen supplier (whether the below or otherwise) that the test will satisfy the requirements for the destination you are travelling to and that the supplier can comply with the strict timescales you will have to adhere to. Citalia cannot be held responsible for any third party suppliers’ delay or otherwise failure to provide a suitable test result.
The Government have also an approved private clinic list - here.
Please note that NHS PCR & Antigen tests cannot be used for travel purposes
