Advice on accessing COVID testing for travel

Providing a negative COVID test may be a requirement for entering your destination country.

If, from the available information it is clear that a test is required, we ask you to choose your test provider in good time. COVID Tests for Travel can be easily found by searching online, with options to test at a clinic, some of which are located at UK airports, or by post.

Country-specific guidance

For travel to countries which have specific entry requirements in place with regards to COVID, we have prepared step-by-step guides to navigate the travel restrictions which you can view here. If your destination is not contained within this list, this means that the country’s government do not have such requirements, and Exodus’ COVID-Clear Policy takes effect (see below).

1. Your Government’s Advice

You should ensure you understand any risks of travel to your destination by reading the travel advice from your home government, and make your own choice to travel or not.

UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) Travel Advice

The UK government has also provided this step-by-step guidance for travelling safely following the changes to travel caused by the pandemic.

Ensure you have checked, understand and can comply with entry requirements for your destination country, and for returning to the UK.  Please note these will be informed by your individual circumstances, and in particular your vaccination status.

2. Destination Entry Requirements

Check the entry requirements for your destination of choice from your country of departure. Please always check your trip notes first for specific Visa information.

For a quick and easy guide to the latest travel advice by departure and destination country, as well as by nationality, we recommend using the CIBT entry guide below:

 

3. COVID-Clear Groups

For extra peace of mind, Exodus requires all those travelling on group holidays to have had a vaccine or negative COVID test – known as ‘COVID-Clear’ status. Please ensure that you understand this policy and can comply with it before you travel with us.

In addition, we ask that all customers travel with a small supply of lateral flow COVID tests (we suggest a minimum of five tests person); this is just in case someone on the trip displays symptoms and then tests positive, so we can quickly confirm that other group members have not become infected. In the unlikely event a group member does test positive, we have a protocol in place to ensure that it is handled swiftly and effectively by our local teams, under the oversight of the Exodus office in the UK.

If you are travelling: to a country where one of these is an entry requirement, you do not need to provide Exodus with proof of your COVID-Clear status prior to travel; you can expect this to be checked by your airline and/or by immigration officials when you arrive in the destination country.

If you are travelling: within the UK, within your home country (outside the UK), or there are no entry requirements of this nature, or the requirements do not meet those outlined below for the destination country, you will need to fulfil one of the below criteria. Please hold documentation proving your vaccination status or confirming your negative test result (as appropriate). Checks may be made by our UK based team prior to travel, or during your trip by your tour leader. If you are unable to provide proof when requested on the trip, you will need to take a COVID test locally, at your own expense.

Exodus’ COVID-Clear requirements – All customers will need to have one of the below in place prior to travel.

1. Be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.  The total number of doses must have been given, as required by the vaccine manufacturer (in most cases this is two doses). 

The NHS app is the quickest and easiest way to demonstrate this. Select ‘Get your NHS COVID Pass’ and follow the prompts to download this as a PDF.

2.  A negative COVID test taken within 72 hours of travel

What happens if someone tests positive for COVID-19 whilst on an Exodus holiday?

If a group member shows symptoms of COVID-19 whilst on an Exodus holiday, they will be asked to take a COVID-19 test. 

If they unfortunately test positive, they will be asked to follow certain measures, where reasonable and appropriate, to protect themselves, the rest of the group and our local staff.  Whilst not restricted to the measures mentioned below, the client will be asked to follow some or all of these measures, which may go above any local regulations in place in the country in which the group is travelling:  In some circumstances, these steps may include being required to leave the trip.
