COVID-19 PCR TEST
Testing for a trip abroad
Some destinations require you to be tested for corona before departure. The country you are travelling to determines which test is required and how long the test result is valid. Before departure, make sure you are well informed about the rules and (possible) testing requirements of the country you are travelling to. These requirements can be different for each country and can also change unexpectedly. When making an appointment, you are responsible for choosing the right time to take the test. Depending on the requirements of the country you are travelling to, you can make an appointment for a PCR or antigen test (rapid test) at vaccinatiecentrum.nl.
For the current test requirements of the country you are travelling to check the website of the Dutch government.
You can also be tested with us if you are travelling to China. For the current test requirements, please check the website of the Chinese embassy in the Netherlands.
Covid-19 PCR test
€ 195,00
Test result: Within 24 hours if tested before 11:00 AM
Location: Wageningen
The PCR test allows us to see if, at the time of testing, you are carrying the coronavirus. For this test, a sample is taken from the throat and nose. This sample is taken to the laboratory and analysed there. The PCR test is very accurate and sensitive. We collaborate with the Gelre hospital laboratory in Apeldoorn for this test. This laboratory is approved by the RIVM to perform PCR tests. The (English) test certificate is often only valid for a limited time, depending on your destination. When making the appointment, pay close attention to this validity period so that it does not cause any problems while travelling. Choosing the right test date and time is your own responsibility.
Please note!
- Make sure you arrive on time for your appointment! If the test arrives at the laboratory later than scheduled, we cannot guarantee that the result will be in on the same day.
- Because a PCR test is extremely sensitive, it can still be positive up to 2 months after a corona infection (even if you are no longer ill). If you have recently been infected with the corona virus, check carefully if there are other requirements for the country you are travelling to.
You can only make an appointment for a Covid-19 PCR test by phone. We can be reached during workdays between 09:00 and 16:00 on: 085 902 03 03.
Covid-19 Antigen test (rapid test)
€ 34,25
Test result: 30 minutes
For certain destinations, an antigen test, also called a rapid test, is sufficient. For this test, a sample is taken from the throat and nose. Our specialised traveller nurses can then analyse this test themselves. Because of this, the test result is known in about 30 minutes. The antigen tests we use are internationally developed and approved for use in Europe by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Health and Food Safety.
The (English) test certificate is often only valid for a limited time, depending on your destination. When making the appointment, pay close attention to this validity period so that it does not cause any problems while travelling. Choosing the right test date and time is your own responsibility.
You can only make an appointment for a Covid-19 Antigen test by phone. We can be reached during workdays between 09:00 and 16:00 on: 085 902 03 03.
