You can get the test to return to UK in the Clinica Juaneda in Mahon for €30 with an appointment. I have read they are also doing them at the Medical Centre in Arenal. We are in Addaia so will check that out today and let you know.

Wow. They charged me 90€ in May.  A couple of weeks before that it was 150€

Does anyone know how much it costs to have the two PCS to get back into England?  The ones we have to order online with the locator for dayv2 and day 8 ?  Are they any cheaper ?   Thanks

I’ve been to Arenal and they are doing the test to return to UK there, (opposite Alcalde Restaurant) they speak English. You need to go in to make appointment 4/5 days before flight, take passport, fill in form then you can arrange time for test. Antigen test costs €30.

You only require a day 2 test now after your return to UK which I have seen advertised for £49 with Dante but don’t know anything about the company!

Currently you need a lateral flow test to re-enter the UK. Juaneda in Arenal or Mahon do them for E30. You need to pre-book a PCR test before you fill in the UK Locator form (you need to put the test reference number on the form), and, as long as we remain 'Green', you only need one test on Day 2 of your return. A company called Testing For All do them for £55: they send to your home address, you test yourself and then pop it in the post. Of course the rules might change .... again ....
