Hi

Thought I would let you know that EV medical PCR test (allowing you entry into the UK) is €130. The €40 test is the antigen that does not allow you back into the UK. EV medical said that the test results come back between 24-48 hrs but NOT to a UK Mobile number only a Spanish mobile number. Y...

...ou can collect the test result from EV medical.

Well the 40 euro antigen test was fine last week. Went through immigration no problem. The  Gov. UK site confirms antigen test acceptable

Do they provide you with the hard paper copy of the certificate that is required as proof of antigen test?

Thank you

Had to book in advance. It is a medical centre so quite busy. Receptionists speak fair English.
