VIVO Clinic’s PCR tests in Glasgow are perfect for travelling overseas on short notice. Our testing service includes same-day results and fit-to-fly certificates.
Travelling abroad was never the easiest of tasks. The planning, booking a flight, booking accommodation, the packing, having all your documents in order, reaching the airport early enough to board, dealing with the stress of whether you remembered to lock the door when you left, and the list goes on. It is a whole host of work for even the most seasoned travellers.
A global pandemic only makes a stressful situation even more so. What with all the worries of keeping yourself and your family safe, and the government-imposed tests – before and after, the possibility of having to quarantine, and additional costs. However, end of the day, finally reaching the destination of your much-deserved holiday and the time spent with your family will be the only thing that will matter when you look back from a not-too-distant future.
With the ubiquitous necessity of precaution, the PCR tests are just a reality of foreign travel now. As NHS tests are non-permissible for foreign travel, VIVO Clinic’s testing services go to great heights to meet the demand.
With our PCR tests in Glasgow, you can rely on not worrying about receiving results on time or not receiving proper documentation. We offer a same-day results service and comprehensive fit-to-fly certificates that are recognized by all major airlines and countries.
What are PCR tests, and why are they the preferred choice globally?
PCR tests are used to find out whether a person is currently infected with SAR-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The test uses laboratory sequencing on swab samples extracted from the throat and nose of a person to determine the presence of the virus’ RNA.
Experts worldwide consider the PCR test to provide the most accurate results when it comes to detecting current COVID-19 infections. Hence, these tests are the primary choice of governments around the world for vetting foreign visitors before granting them entry.
How long before travelling must one take a PCR test?
Every country has their own rules on when PCR tests must be taken before travel. Most commonly, tests must be taken within 72 hours of departure to be considered valid. However, many countries are tightening the rule to permitting only a 48-hour time window before arrival.
Nonetheless, the rules of entry are constantly being updated and therefore subject to change at any time.
It is best to check the government’s advice page for foreign travel before booking your PCR test.
How are the PCR tests in Glasgow done?
We follow the standard PCR testing procedure in all our clinics.
Our trained clinical staff will assist in collecting your swab samples during your appointment. The swab samples will then be sent over to our lab for sequence testing. Depending on the service you availed of, you will either receive the test results on the same day or the next.
You can check out this video for a breakdown of the sample collection process.

Which countries require PCR tests from travellers?
As the pandemic is still ongoing globally, and there is an increasing number of cases caused by the COVID-19 variants, there are virtually no countries in the world that let in visitors without checking vaccination status or for some form of COVID-19 test.
You can check the various entry and testing requirements of the countries around the world on VIVO Clinic’s travel portal.
