A PCR test is a nucleic acid test that’s used to tell you if you currently have COVID-19. 

All travellers to Saudi Arabia must have a valid visa and have carried out a COVID-19 PCR test within 72 hours of their arrival into the kingdom and received a negative result prior to their departure to allow them into Saudi Arabia. Children under 8 years old do not have to produce a test result.

Our lab is accredited by UKAS specifically for COVID-19 testing which is the necessary entry requirement for airlines and countries. UKAS is the only national accreditation body recognised by the British government.

The Certificate of Accreditation and the approval documents, as well as the clinical validation data for the test itself are provided to you with your test result certificate in the email you receive. These comply with the necessary requirements for international travel even to very strict destinations like Hong Kong, China, South Korea & Japan.
